We present key takeaways of our interaction with Entertainment Networks India Ltd’s (ENIL) management to gauge the way forward for the company: Back to the growth phase: Given that its volume cut strategy, and large client issues are firmly in the base, ENIL is now targeting 20% yoy revenue growth in FY19E, and is confident of adding incremental ~Rs1bn in FY20E (18% CAGR over FY18-20E). Revenue growth would come from Phase III Batch I stations, ramp up in TV Today metro stations, rising utili...
Q4FY18 result highlights Standalone revenue declined 3.7% yoy to Rs1.6bn (4% miss). The client specific issue plaguing ENIL for the past 3 quarters was resolved only in March. Revenue from this client is expected to normalize over the months ahead. ENIL’s strategy of capping ad inventory to improve consumer experience and increase yields has hurt it in the near-term, but there are signs of improvement as Q4 utilization (across legacy 35 stations) improved to ~90% (vs ~83% qoq; ~91% yoy). Gro...
Q3FY18 result highlights Standalone revenue declined 1.5% yoy to Rs1.5bn (1.5% miss). As per the management, ad rev. decline was primarily due to a client specific issue (which we believe is Govt.) which has since been resolved from mid-Feb. If the issue was absent, rev. would have grown ~4.6% yoy. Assuming the client issue was not there, ENIL’s est. performance of 4.6% yoy would be in-line with the numbers reported by its peers (HT Media Radio +4.7% yoy; Music Broadcast +4.7% yoy; DB Corp R...

Excluding this one-off impact, revenue growth was 4.6% YoY. EBITDA fell 6.6% YoY to INR356m (5% miss) due to weak revenu...

Q2FY18 result highlights Net sales fell by 3% yoy to Rs1.26bn (miss of 3%) led by poor July & August on impact of GST implementation and some recovery in September due to an early festive season.
