Delta Corp: Multiple earnings drivers in place

(DELTA IN, Mkt Cap USD0.9b, CMP INR223, TP INR257, 15% Upside, Buy)

  • Results in-line (GST-adjusted): Revenue grew 8.2% YoY to INR1,453m (est. of INR1,800m) in 2QFY18. EBITDA margin expanded 290bp YoY to 45.1% (est. of 38%), while EBITDA grew 15.6% YoY to INR655m (est. of INR684m). Consequently, adjusted PAT rose 34% YoY to INR433m (est. of INR413m) in 2QFY18. Casino gaming revenue grew by 17% YoY to INR1,450m and hospitality revenue by 19% to INR188m. Online gaming revenues stood at INR241m. GST of INR351m was netted off from gross revenue in the reported result. Consequently, revenue growth appears subdued and EBITDA margin expansion looks significant. Removing its impact, revenue grew 34.3% YoY to INR1,804m and EBITDA margin contracted 590bp YoY.
  • To be an integrated online gaming company: DELTA plans to make Adda52 an integrated online gaming company by ramping up Rummy and venturing into Fantasy League by 4QFY18. The company is expected to invest significantly in Rummy and Fantasy League for player acquisition, marketing, schemes and bonuses. This would enable Rummy to deliver expected revenue of ~INR500m in the first year of operations. Adda52 (over 60% market share in poker) will create significant synergy for both Rummy and Fantasy League, and aid customer retention.
