The company was incorporated in India on 30 May, 2002 and set up its business on 1 March, 2003. The Company is in the business of content production and broadcasting three news channels through the television and digital media which includes internet, mobile and Direct-to-Home.


PERFORMANCE

 

During the financial year 2012-13, Companys total revenue has been Rs. 2510.500 Million compared to Rs. 2613.200 Million in the previous year, a decline of 3.93%. The Company registered a loss of Rs. 261.100 Million as compared to the profit of Rs. 129.700 Million in the previous year, a decline of 301.38%.This loss includes onetime expenses amounting to Rs. 141.900 Million forbrand migrationand break-up fee of Rs. 50.000 Million paid to Star India Private Limited.

 

The first half of the year saw an investment in the acquiring of and building of the brand ABP - with a view to migrating the current equity of the channels from the old brand names to the new ones and ensure that the changeover of brand name from `STAR to `ABP does not impact the business:

 

a. The viewership of ABP News increased from a 6 month average market share of 14% before rebranding to 16% (6 month average) post rebranding. Similarly, the viewership of ABP Ananda, already the leader in W.Bengal moved from market share of 36% before rebranding to 38% post rebranding. ABP Majha, the No. 1 news channel in Maharashtra and in Mumbai, held firmly at the market share of 44%.

 

b. As per a third party research, viewers echoed the selling point with 92% of those surveyed saying other than the name, nothing had changed in the channel, thus indicating a successful migration of the brands from the old to the new names without any loss in equity.

 

Despite of change in the brand, the Company maintained the market shares and hence the market rates.

However, the anticipated benefits on account of digitization in terms of like lower carriage and placement feesdid not fully materialize due to delayed implementation.

 

Though, the Company took proactive measures and cut costs to keep the increase to a minimum.

 

 

REVENUE

 

The revenues fell short over last year due to:-

 

Poor economic sentiments fall in shares of the news genre and drop in the growth rates of the M&E sector.

 

Unforeseen decline in DAVP, NFDC and other state government business due to very poor rates offered by the government, leading to an industry level boycott of government business. During the financial year, the Company’s revenue from government ministries declined by 74%.

 

 

OUTLOOK

 

2013-14 is expected to be a tough year with the full impact of recession settingin and TRAI regulations on inventory restrictions. Most predictions of media industry growth by syndicated groups pegged the likely growth rate of industry to be less than 5%. MCCS has targeted 15% growth to ensure that they grow faster than the market. Amongst the key legs of MCCS strategy is:-

 

·         Driving new revenue streams through Non-FCT properties, events and special projects

·         Additional revenue from elections (5 State election and 1 general election)

·         Revival of DAVP business since industry level matter has been resolved between NBA and DAVP

·         Revenue contribution of Punjabi Channel

·         Geographical expansion focus on smaller towns and upcountry markets to generate retail revenue

·         Reduction in carriage cost on account of benefit of DAS implementation in phase II towns

·         Price increase to offset inventory reduction, backed up by strong content strategy.

 

It is expected that the implementation of the above strategies will help in achieving the desired objectives.
