Recommendation Target

Consol. revenue declined 14% YoY (-12% QoQ) to INR2b (16% miss). Ad revenue fell 15% YoY to INR1.5b, primarily due to a high base (4QFY17 ??? due to UP elections). Circulation revenue was down 11% YoY to INR0.5b, mainly due to lower yields. Consol. EBITDA fell 54% YoY to INR264m (59% miss), with the margin down 11.1pp YoY to 13.1%. Yet, PAT fell by a meager 5% YoY (-18% QoQ) to INR403m (27% miss), aided by a 54% YoY jump in other income.

Hindustan Media Ventures: Lackluster growth, but outlook improving

Buy: Hindustan Media Ventures Ltd.

Target

Motilal Oswal

3QFY18revenue came in flat YoY (9% QoQ) at INR2.3b (in line v/s est. of INR2.35b), despite a low base (3QFY17 was impacted by demonetization), largely due to (i) shift of Diwali ad spends to 2Q this year and (ii) lackluster local ad spend due to GST-related uncertainty. EBITDA increased 43% YoY (+29% QoQ) to INR583m (est. of INR439m), as 3QFY17 included high one-off expense related to HT Digital hive-off. EBITDA margin expanded 760bp YoY to 25.3%. PAT rose 12%/20% YoY/QoQ (at a slower rate than EBITDA) to INR493m on a high tax rate. Ad spend recovered partly from the FMCG, auto, banking and finance sectors, while real estate and government were laggards (overall ad growth was 4%, of which 3% was contributed by volumes and 1% by yield). Circulation segment, on the contrary, witnessed a steep 14% revenue decline, though HMVL stated it maintained market share in UP and Bihar.

EBITDA margin shrunk 50bp YoY (flat QoQ) to 21.5% (50bp above est. of 21%). PAT plunged 25% YoY (-9% QoQ) to INR409m (est. of INR445m). High base, GST pull down ad business: Ad revenue declined 8% YoY to INR1.6b (est. of INR1.7b), mainly led by ~12% YoY volume decline due to GST, RERA and a high base (UP elections last year).
