Comments :

Siti Cable Network Limited (SCNL, earlier known as Wire and Wireless Limited) is a part of the “Essel group”. Company is engaged in Distribution of Television Channels through analogue and digital cable distribution network, primary internet and allied services.

 

The rating derive strength from the well-established promoters group with a long track record in the media and entertainment industry and the credit enhancement in the form of unconditional and irrevocable Corporate Guarantee extended by Zee Entertainment Enterprise Limited to the lenders of Siti Cable Network Limited.

 

However, the above rating strengths are tempered by the volatile nature of the main source of revenue which is sensitive to key economic indicators and regulatory changes. Furthermore, the ratings also factor in changing trends in the media sector, intense competition, and continued losses in its business.

 

However, business is active. Payments are reported to be slow.

 

In view of well-established promoter group, the subject can be considered for business dealings with some caution.

BUSINESS OVERVIEW

 

The year started with the promise of digitization in Phase 3 areas and they were fully geared up to ensure that Subject was well placed to gain significant market share in the process. Although, the digitization drive got slowed down due to the extension in the Phase 3 digitization deadline by the Government of India, they were able to successfully seed 1.23 million STBs proactively in Phase-3 areas and expand their reach from 60 cities to 130 cities across India. Overall Siti Cable managed to close the year with over 5 Million digital subscribers and expand their cable universe to 10.5 Million. They will continue to digitize the remaining analogue subscriber base and also expand in select strategic geographies to consolidate their presence.

 

The company made new forays into the broadband space and currently is offering broadband at speeds upto 100

Mbps on state of the art DOCSIS 2/3 Technology in Delhi/ NCR. The Company has chalked out plans to expand broadband operations on all India basis and identified new markets for expansion in the next twelve months to increase its current subscriber base significantly.

 

Subject continued to work closely with the Sector Regulator and maintain a high-focus on adherence to regulatory compliances, in order to minimize regulatory risk and provide the end customer a quality service experience. The company has also been at the forefront of bringing together leading MSOs for policy advocacy and establishing the All India Digital Cable Federation (AIDCF), which is the recognized industry body for the sector.

 

The industry continues to face an excessive tax burden in the form of both service tax and entertainment tax incidence, which is unhealthy considering it is the most popular and accessible medium of entertainment for the common man. There is a need to bring down the tax burden in line with other industries such as multiplexes and make cable a more affordable medium

 

Subject continues to monetize the business better and harness the inherent operational leverage that the business possesses. They worked with their LCO business associates to train and equip them with regards to the rapidly changing digital environment and serve the customer more effectively. They built durable relationships with leading content providers to ensure their subscribers get the best of content and value added services.

 

Subject, as part of the Essel Group is working in consonance with other group companies to ensure economies of scale and derive synergies in various aspects of the value chain such as STB procurement, content cost and shared services.

 

They felt the need to bring in fresh talent from customer facing industries in line with their renewed focus on the end consumer and transition to a B2C business and have inducted the same at Senior Management and Middle management levels for their foray into broadband business on all India basis and also to drive execution capabilities. At the same time, processes and systems were further refined and streamlined to ensure the organization remains agile as it scales up.

 

In terms of overall perspective, FY2014-15 was a year of unique differentiation for the Company. The Company’s consolidated revenue grew by 32% to INR 9370 million from INR 7103 million in 2014. Core Revenue, excluding other income and activation grew even faster at 37% YoY to reach INR 8435 million.

 

The EBITDA also grew 34% to INR 1684 million compared to INR 1259 million last years. EBITDA, excluding other income and activation grew by a significant 132% YoY to reach INR 749 million, testimony to the inherent execution capabilities of the company. As an impact of successful digitization in phase I and II as well as proactive seeding in Phase 3, Subscription revenue grew by 57% over last fiscal.Carriage revenue grew by 9.6% YoY and broadband revenue grew by 53% YoY due to conscious decision by Management to use multiple growth levers and diversify revenue streams. Capital expenditure shall continue to be high this year as they strive for market expansion and establish their digital footprint to transform their business to a sustainable perpetual annuity with tremendous operating leverage which will generate a steady cash flow.

 

They continue to pursue expansion of their digital cable and broadband business in the current year, so that they are able to provide the consumer the best of the content in a platform neutral manner. Their eventual aim is to become a triple play service provider.

 

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

ECONOMIC REVIEW

 

In 2014-15, the Indian economy witnessed the first green shoots of tangible recovery. The year saw perceptible improvement in business confidence, foreign inflows and stability of key macroeconomic indicators. GDP growth (at market prices) improved to 7.3% in 2014-15 compared to 6.9% in the previous year (Source: CSO). This was on the back of a stronger growth in the manufacturing and services sectors. India is a net importer of global commodities, such as crude and benefited from their steep global price correction. The commodity meltdown helped the Government and Reserve Bank of India (RBI) stabilise key macroeconomic indicators such as inflation, current account deficit and fiscal deficit, all of which had deviated from their desirable levels in the preceding years. With new policy initiatives, these are all now trending towards the desired levels. The commodity price correction is also expected to have a strong positive impact on savings and discretionary spending.

 

The Government, over the past year has taken several initiatives to create a strong foundation for a sustainable and inclusive growth. Some of these include the introduction of the GST Bill, the Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojna (PMJDY) to promote financial inclusion, the Smart Cities programme to facilitate urban renewal, and the Digital India campaign to drive a digitally empowered future. These and other initiatives are collectively expected to invite and incentivize domestic and foreign investments into India.

 

India’s strong demographic profile, large consumer base and fast growing middle class have attracted the interest of many global investors and multinational corporations. During 2014-15, a decisive government, and an improving macroeconomic and regulatory environment further enhanced their interest.

 

INDUSTRY REVIEW

 

Media and Entertainment Industry

 

In the year 2014, the Indian Media and Entertainment (M and E) industry grew 11.7% and crossed Rs. 1 trillion, for the first time ever. TV, the largest segment in the M and E industry grew by a strong 13.8% to Rs. 475 billion. Digital Advertising (grew 44.5% to Rs. 43.5 billion) and Gaming (grew 22.4% to ` 23.5 billion) were the fastest growing segments during the year.

 

TV Industry

 

The TV industry has grown at a CAGR of 13% over the last 5 years and today forms over 46% of the M and E Industry. It is expected to grow by 14.3% to Rs. 543 billion in 2015. Over the 5 year period, between 2014 to 2019, the TV Industry is expected to have an even stronger CAGR of 15.5%. This is significantly higher than the projected overall M&E CAGR of 13.9% during the same period. Looked at another way, the TV industry is projected to add more revenue to the M&E industry going forward, than all other sub sectors put together.

 

Subscription revenue grew by 13.9% to Rs. 320 billion in 2014. Over the next five years (by 2019), it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 16.1% to Rs. 676 billion. Advertising revenue on the other hand grew by 13.9% during the year and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 14% to ` 299 billion by 2019. Subscription is expected to account for 71% of the total incremental increase projected in TV Industry revenue over the next five years, whereas the contribution of advertisement will be under 30%. In 2014, the overall TV penetration in India increased to 61% or 168 million households. India is the world’s second largest TV market after China.

 

 

INDUSTRY OUTLOOK

 

PAY TV: POTENTIAL USD 9-11 BILLION

INCREMENTAL ANNUAL REVENUE OPPORTUNITY

 

OPPORTUNITY FOR EACH OF TOP 3 MSOS

  • The top 3 Indian MSOs together have over 35 million universe and can conservatively reach a 4-5 million potential broadband subscriber base.

 

  • Cable reaches over 90 million households in India as compared to ~28 million households reached by wire line telephones, making it a much more potent medium for delivering broadband.

 

Digital technologies will continue to drive a high degree of convergence between entertainment, information and telecommunication. This will create a significantly enhanced viewership experience and will lead to new opportunities for all digital players in general and MSOs in particular. Digital cable, unlike most other technologies, allow two-way communication, have a localised nature of services and are more reliable, owing to the resilience of their infrastructure to harsh weather conditions.

 

India has one of the lowest pay television ARPU, globally. With the migration of existing analog subscribers to digital and the addition of new subscribers, the industry will witness greater transparency, subscriber oriented initiatives and a consistent increase in ARPU. ARPU growth will come from an increase in the base prices, healthy mix of package wise billing, increase in subscribers opting for value added services and also new due to launch of new services. Digitisation will also result in significant transfer of power and revenue share from LCOs to MSOs.

 

The broadband industry in India is at a very nascent stage. The percentage of users with over 4 Mbps connection as on December 2014, was 7.8% in India as compared to 27% in China, 88% in Japan and 95% in South Korea (Source: AKAMAI Q4 2014 Report). Only 1.5 users per 100 people in India use a wired broadband connection today. (Source: TRAI Q4 2014 Report)

 

Internet traffic in India is projected to grow 4.2x over the next 5 years to 3.0 Exabytes (EB) per month, while busy hour internet traffic is projected to grow to 5.6x over the same period. This growth is going to be led by significantly higher consumption of video traffic, which is projected to grow to 7x to 2.2 EB per month by 2019 compared to 326 PB in 2014. The total internet video traffic will increase to 74% of all internet traffic in 2019 compared to 46% in 2014. The Ultra HD, HD and SD will be 6.1%, 38.1% and 55.8% of internet video traffic in 2019, respectively, compared to 0.2%, 7.1%, 92.6%, respectively, in 2014. The internet-videoto- TV is projected to grow to 8x between 2014 and 2019. (Source: Cisco VNI Forecast)

 

The growth in data consumption will be supported by a growth in network speed. The average broadband speed is projected to grow by 2.9x to 11.6 Mbps between the years 2014 and 2019. In 2019, 46% of the fixed broadband connections will be faster than 5 Mbps as compared to 24% in 2014. Similarly 36% of the fixed broadband connections in 2019 will be faster than 10 Mbps compared to 11% in 2014. The internet traffic generated by an average internet household is projected to grow 3.4x to 40.8 GB in 2019 compared to 12.1 GB in 2014. The number of households generating more than 50 GB per month will grow 27x in 2019, or 27 million internet households, compared to 1 million households in 2014. (Source: Cisco VNI Forecast)

 

To tap the projected demand potential in the digital cable as well as the broadband segments, the Industry will need to keep up the pace of investments in infrastructure and network. In digital cable, this is likely to increase the pace of consolidation with the top MSOs controlling a major portion of the market share. With higher economies of scale, optimal use of modern technologies and better utilisation of the infrastructure, the industry is likely to witness significant improvement in its cost and capital efficiency parameters. (Source: FICCI KPMG Indian M&E 2015 Report)

However, there was a significant increase in the digital subscriber base compared to 2013-14 – from 3.8 million to 5.38 million. They expanded their digital cable presence to 130 cities. Their internet subscriber base expanded to 70,100 at the end of the 2014-15, across 5 cities. This represents a nearly 80 per cent growth from the 38,600 subscribers they had at the beginning of the year.

 

During the year, they continued to expand their reach by entering into newer cities that were part of the Phase II rollout plan proposed by the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting (MIB). Together with this, they also carried out proactive seeding in cities and territories falling in Phase II and Phase III of the roll-out plan. They increased their focus towards monetising their existing infrastructure by bundling additional high margin services such as broadband and HD channels. As a result, their revenues grew by 32%, while EBITDA grew by 34% in 2014-15. Operating EBITDA grew even faster by 133.6% on a yearon- year basis, underscoring the increasing share of recurring revenue in the total.

 

OUTLOOK

 

During the last three years, they have aggressively invested to expand their reach across India. The inherent advantage of their business model enables us to leverage their existing infrastructure to offer dual play, viz. content and broadband, with very limited new investments. They will continue to invest in Digital Cable, DOCSIS 3.0 and EOC technologies to ensure they provide multiple options to the consumer to view content.

 

Viewers are rapidly shifting to non-linear content consumption, where the TV is one of the many platforms on which content is viewed. This is aided by the growing penetration of smart devices and internet enabled TVs. SITI Cable, through its high speed broadband services and other bundled VAS services is well positioned to suitably address this growing demand in its focus markets. Therefore, they shall be a platform for their customers to access the internet and television content from, anytime, anywhere. Their growth shall be aided by the inherent advantages of digital cable over other technologies. Together with this, they shall leverage the strong capabilities of their Group in the M&E industry, which allows us to provide a formidable combination of content, distribution platforms, service quality and value mix.

 

In the near-term, their investments will remain consistent as they further expand their digital cable network across India and launch broadband services in newer markets. Upon completion of this infrastructure creation, the routine operational and maintenance costs will be much lower, leading to recurring and stable cash flows (with a positive bias) and lower finance costs. With an expanded subscriber base, growing penetration of their broadband services and increasing demand of other value-added services, they anticipate a consistent improvement in their margins. They shall also benefit from the tailwind provided by the impending improvement in the economy that will boost discretionary spends. This in turn, will drive a higher demand for premium channels and HD channels among others, leading to a further growth in their ARPUs.

 

Therefore, SITI Cable is confident of its ability to deliver strong and sustainable stakeholder returns in the years to come.

Note:

 

1. SITI Cable Network Limited (the "Company") operates in single business segment of cable distribution in India. Hence there are no separate reportable business or geographical segments as per Accounting Standard on Segment Reporting (AS-17).


2. The above unaudited financial results for the quarter and six months ended September 30, 2015 have been reviewed by the Audit Committee and were approved by the Board of Directors in their meetings held on November 09, 2015.


3. The Statutory Auditors have carried out a "Limited review" of the Standalone financial results for the quarter and six months ended September 30, 2015.


4. This statement of unaudited financial results has been prepared by applying accounting policies as adopted in the last audited annual financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2015.


5. The outstanding business advances amounting to Rs. 7,951 lacs given to two subsidiaries (including a wholly owned subsidiary) for acquisition of Multi-System Operators (MSOs)/ direct points, technological up gradation etc. in near future, are considered good and recoverable, as Company has received indemnity against the aforementioned balances from majority stake holders of the Company.


6. The Audit Committee and the Board of Directors noted the utilisation of the proceeds of qualified institutional placement (QIP) for the half year ended September 30, 2015 which is in line with utilisation schedule as approved by the Board of Directors. The unutilised amount as on September 30, 2015 is Rs. 1,950 lacs.


7. In view of the mandatory digital addressable system (DAS) regulation announced by the Government of India, digitisation of cable networks has been implemented in Phase 1 and Phase 2 cities effective November 1, 2012 and April 1, 2013 respectively. Owing to the initial delays in implementation of DAS in phase 1 cities and challenges faced by all the Multi-System Operators (MSOs) during transition from analogue business to DAS, the Company is in the process of implementation of revenue sharing contracts entered into with the local cable operators (LCOs). Accordingly, the Company has invoiced and recognised subscription revenue on the basis of certain estimates under the new DAS regime amounting to Rs. 2,476 lacs (standalone Rs. 2,282 lacs) and Rs. 4,293 lacs (standalone Rs. 4,208 lacs) for the quarter and six months ended September 30, 2015 respectively, Rs. 1,072 lacs (standalone Rs. 839 lacs) and Rs. 2,085 lacs (standalone Rs. 1,689 lacs) for the quarter and six months ended September 30, 2014 respectively and Rs. 2,290 lacs (standalone Rs. 1,926 lacs) and Rs. 6,662 lacs (standalone Rs. 5,290 lacs) for the quarter ended June 30, 2015 and year ended March 31, 2015 respectively, based on certain estimates derived from market trends and ongoing discussion with the LCOs. Management is of the view that the execution/implementation of such contracts will not have a significant impact on the subscription revenue.


8. The Audit Committee and Board of Directors noted the utilisation of the proceeds of Rights Issue for half year ended September 30, 2015 is in line with utilisation schedule approved by the Board of Directors. The unutilised amount from the proceeds of Rights Issue as on September 30, 2015 is Rs. 759 lacs.


9. The Company continued to incur cash losses on standalone basis, during six months ended September 30, 2015 but in view of the present positive net worth, expected substantial subscription revenue growth and continued financial support from majority stake holders of the Company, the financial results continue to be prepared on a going concern basis.


10. Prior period item relate to license fee of Rs. 217.6 lacs pertaining to financial year 2014-2015 and recorded in the quarter ended June 30, 2015.


11. As approved by the Shareholders, on the basis of recommendation of Nomination and Remuneration Committee, the remuneration paid to CEO and Executive Director exceeds the prescribed limits under the Companies Act, 2013, for which necessary representation for reconsidering the application has been submitted before Central Government and approval is awaited for the same.


12. During the current quarter, the Company has acquired 51% equity share capital in Panchsheel Digital Communication Network Private Limited and Siti Prime Uttaranchal Communication Private Limited


13 Previous period's/year’s amounts have been regrouped and rearranged, wherever necessary.
