Comments :

Subject is a subsidiary of “Sony Corporation” which owns and operates the Sony Entertainment network of television channels. It offers shows based on general entertainment, sports, movies, factual entertainment, news, reality, action, animation, adventure and lifestyle.


As a leading television network in India, it comprises of Sony Entertainment Television (SET), MAX, MAX 2, SAB, PIX, AXN, AATH, MIX, SIX, KIX, and LIV. MSM Motion Pictures is the company’s venture in film production.


For the financial year 2016, the company achieved a decent revenue base due to increase in the revenue by 16.68% along with good profit margin of 9.16%.


The sound financial risk profile of the company is marked by its adequate net worth base along with comfortable debt coverage ratios due to negligible debt balance sheet profile.


Rating derives strength from the well-established promoter group along with a long track record of the subject in the media and entertainment industry, large number of channel offerings covering a wide genre of entertainment and positioning of the flagship channel ‘Sony’ amongst the top Hindi General Entertainment Channels in terms of television viewership and platform for distribution with a wide subscriber base.

 

However, the rating strengths are partially off-set by changing trends in the media sector, intense competition and risks related to regulatory changes.

Payments seems to be usually correct.

 

In view of well-known brand name “Sony”, the company can be considered for business dealings at usual trade terms and conditions.

 

NOTE: As per Registrar of Companies date of balance sheet (i.e. financial filed) is shown as 31.03.2017 but documents related to financial for the year 31.03.2017 are not available from any sources.
