Comments :

Entertainment Network (India) Limited is a step-down subsidiary of Bennett Coleman & Company Limited - the flagship company of the Times of India Group. It was incorporated in the year 1999.


The company operates FM radio broadcasting stations in 40 Indian cities under the brand names “Radio Mirchi” and “Mirchi Love”. 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, activations and monetization of Company’s digital and other media properties.


For the financial year 2017, the company has achieved revenue growth of 11.65% as compared to the previous year along with a fair profit margin of 9.91%.


The sound financial risk profile of the company is marked by adequate net worth base along negligible debt balance sheet profile due to unsecured debt recorded in the books.


Rating takes into consideration the subject’s market leadership, in terms of revenue as well as inventory sold, in the Indian FM radio broadcasting industry.


Rating also takes into account the strong financial and managerial support that company receives from its holding entity backed by its well experienced management team.


These strengths are partially offset by significant dependence on advertisement revenue and exposure to competition in the radio industry.


Payment seems to be usually correct.


In view of strong parental support and healthy financial profile, the company can be considered for business dealings at usual trade terms and conditions.

CORPORATE INFORMATION

 

The Company is a public limited company domiciled in India and is listed on the Bombay Stock Exchange (‘BSE’) and the National Stock Exchange (‘NSE’). The Company was incorporated on June 24, 1999 and has registered office at Mumbai, Maharashtra, India. The Company operates FM radio broadcasting stations in 40 Indian cities under the brand names ‘Radio Mirchi’ and ‘Mirchi Love’.

 

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, activations and monetization of Company’s digital and other media properties.

 

 

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE, OPERATIONS AND STATE OF THE COMPANY’S AFFAIRS

 

The Company took advantage of the Batch-1 auctions under Phase-3 policy and grew its business strongly during FY17. Total income of the Company increased from INR 5428.603 million during the previous year to INR 5761.113 million during the year. Profit after tax was INR 544.740 million.

 

On a consolidated basis, total income of the Company increased from INR 5435.401 million during the previous year to INR 5768.010 million during the year. Profit after tax was INR 551.696 million.

 

The financial performance is discussed in more detail in the Management Discussion and Analysis Report which forms part of the Annual Report.

 

The biggest event of FY17 was the Government of India’s DeMonetization initiative. The immediate impact of the program on the media industry was negative, and the impact was felt in both Q3 and Q4 of FY17. The Company also took a hit in both quarters. However, because of its multiproduct strategy (products other than core radio), the Company was able to avoid any de-growth in revenues in the months of November 2016 to March 2017. While core radio de-grew marginally, the other businesses including Activations, Concerts, TV properties, Multi-media solutions and Digital together provided growth during this period.

 

The Company has been adding new products to its sales portfolio every few years. Concerts is one such product. While concerts as a business was launched in a small way a few years back, it got a big thrust in FY17, with the business reporting 100%+ growth. The Company regards concerts as a major growth area for the future.

 

In September 2015, the Company had executed a Business Transfer Agreement (‘BTA’) with TV Today Network Limited (‘TVTN’) to purchase TVTN’s four radio stations in Amritsar, Jodhpur, Patiala and Shimla. The Company has now been operating these stations for more than one full year. It is extremely heartening to note that the four stations have reported a strong growth in revenues in FY17, resulting in an EBITDA margin of 20%. In H2 of FY16 (the first half of their acquisition), they had reported an EBITDA loss of 44.7%. This successful assimilation of the acquired stations gives us confidence in their ability to pursue more acquisition targets in the future.

 

In August 2016, the Company entered into an Advertising Sales Agreement (ASA) with TVTN in relation to TVTN’s remaining three radio stations at New Delhi, Mumbai and Kolkata. Pursuant to the ASA, TVTN has agreed to appoint ENIL as an agent of TVTN with effect from September 1, 2016 to facilitate the sale of TVTN’s airtime to third-parties who wish to advertise using TVTN’s airtime.

 

The Company participated in the 2nd batch of Phase-3 auctions held between October 26, 2016 and December 14, 2016.

 

After this batch of auctions, the Company acquired licenses in 21 new cities. These are Bhavnagar, Jamnagar, Junagadh, Mehsana, Bharuch and Palanpur in Gujarat, Akola and Amravati in Maharashtra, Tiruchirapalli and Tirunelveli in Tamil Nadu, Rajahmundry in Andhra Pradesh, Warangal in Durg/Bhilai and Raigarh in Chhatisgarh, Hubli/Dharwad and Mysuru in Karnataka, Ujjain in Madhya Pradesh, Jhansi in Uttar Pradesh, Asansol and Siliguri in West Bengal and the Union Territory of Puducherry. With these 21 cities, the core Mirchi brand will expand its footprint deeper into strategically important and fast growing cities and states. Its presence will increase from 43 to 64 cities in India. However, since the Company has decided to surrender the Goa license, the total number of cities will become 63. The total value of bids made by ENIL is INR 513.000 million. These frequencies are expected to become operational towards the end of FY18.

 

The Scheme of Amalgamation and Arrangement (‘Scheme’) of Times Infotainment Media Limited [‘TIML’], the holding company of the Company with Bennett, Coleman & Company Limited (‘BCCL’), the holding Company of TIML was filed under the Companies Act, 1956. The Scheme was approved by the Hon’ble Bombay High Court vide Order dated July 3, 2015 (‘Order’). The Hon’ble Bombay High Court’s approval was however subject to the approval of the Ministry of Information & Broadcasting, Government of India (‘MIB’).

 

The MIB, vide its letter dated April 25, 2016 (received by the Company on April 26, 2016), accorded its approval to the change in ownership pattern of the Company under the Scheme. Consequently, TIML’s entire shareholding in the Company was transferred to BCCL, and BCCL is the sole promoter shareholder of the Company.

 

In January 2017; the Company issued Unsecured Commercial Papers (CPs). The amount raised through issuance of CPs was INR 1218.000 million. The CPs have a tenor of 364 days and will mature in January 2018. The maturity value of CPs is INR 1300.000 million. The effective yield of the CPs is 6.75% per annum. Proceeds from the CPs were used to finance the Company’s business needs.

 

In March 2017; the Company fully repaid the Unsecured Commercial Papers (CPs) with maturity value of INR 2700.000 million issued to BNP Paribas in March 2016.

 

 

MEDIA INDUSTRY STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENTS

 

WORLD ECONOMY GAINING MOMENTUM:

 

The World Economic Outlook released in April 2017 by the IMF raised the global growth estimate from 3.1% in 2016 to 3.5% in 2017 and 3.6% in 2018, slightly above the October 2016 forecast. Economic activity gained some momentum in the second half of 2016, especially in advanced economies. Growth picked up in the United States as firms grew more confident about future demand, and inventories started contributing positively to growth (after five quarters of drag). Growth also remained solid in the United Kingdom, where spending proved resilient in the aftermath of the June 2016 referendum in favor of leaving the European Union (Brexit). Japan was a surprise, thanks to strong net exports, as were countries in Euro zone, such as Germany and Spain that saw strong domestic demand.

 

Economic performance across emerging markets and developing economies has remained mixed. Whereas China’s growth remained strong, reflecting continued policy support, activity temporarily slowed in India because of the impact of DeMonetization, as well as in Brazil, which has been mired in a deep recession because of the crash in global commodity prices and internal political trouble. Activity remained weak in fuel and non-fuel commodity exporters again on account of crashing commodity prices, while geopolitical factors held back growth in parts of the Middle East and Turkey.

 

INDIAN ECONOMY – WORLD’S FASTEST GROWING MAJOR ECONOMY:

 

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) restored India to the status of the world’s fastest-growing major economy in 2016-17, as it raised its growth forecast to 6.8% for FY17, ahead of China at 6.7%. The IMF forecast is however lower than the 7.1% growth projected for 2016-17 by the Central Statistics Organization.

 

As per the IMF, India’s economy has grown at a strong pace in recent years owing to the implementation of critical structural reforms, favorable terms of trade, and lower external vulnerabilities thanks to soft crude prices. Beyond the immediate challenge of replacing currency in circulation following the November 2016 currency exchange initiative, policy actions should focus on reducing labor and product market rigidities to ease entry and exit of firms, expand the manufacturing base, and gainfully employ the abundant pool of available labor. Policy actions should also boost financial stability through structural tax reforms, including implementation of the recently approved nationwide goods and services tax.

 

IMF has retained its earlier India growth forecasts for 2017-18 and the next fiscal at 7.2% and 7.7%, respectively. Similarly, World Bank also estimates growth at 7.2% for FY18 and 7.5% for FY19. As per IMF, medium-term growth prospects are favorable, with growth forecast to rise to about 8% over the medium term due to the implementation of key reforms, loosening of supply-side bottlenecks, and appropriate fiscal and monetary policies.

 

RADIO INDUSTRY – FUTURE OUTLOOK, OPPORTUNITIES AND THREATS

 

DeMonetization effect on Media Industry :

 

DeMonetization had a significant impact on the Media & Entertainment sector both directly & indirectly. The cash crunch post November 8th, 2016 resulted in a slowdown in consumption, which in turn impacted ad spends. A large % of broadcasting revenues comprises of advertising revenues. Advertising is highly exposed to the vagaries of underlying business performance of large ad spending sectors. As the business of these sectors sputtered post DeMonetization, so also did that of the media sectors as ad spends crashed. According to industry estimates, loss of advertising revenue on account of DeMonetization for calendar year 2016 was in the range of ` 15-17 billion.

 

A majority of radio broadcasters felt the impact of DeMonetization since retail advertisers were severely impacted by the shortage of cash.

 

Large media networks also felt the impact since most national advertisers cut spends to match reduced consumer spending. Sectors such as real estate, retail & e-commerce cut back on ad spends. Overall it is estimated that DeMonetization had an adverse impact of approximately INR 500.000-600.000 million or 2-3% in terms of annual growth in FY17 for the radio industry.

 

Although the industry expects full recovery to take 4-6 months, the situation is seen to have improved after Jan 2017. However, the impending launch of GST is expected to create further disruption for possibly three to four quarters from July 1st, 2017.
