Weak quarter as expected…<br />

<strong>Eros</strong> <strong>International</strong> (<strong>EROINT</strong>)<br />

| 164<br />

<strong>Eros</strong> <strong>International</strong> reported its Q4FY13 numbers, which were in line with<br />

our estimates. In a seasonally weak fourth quarter, <strong>Eros</strong> released movies<br />

like Attacks of 26/11, Table No 21 and 3G, which failed to make a mark at<br />

the box office. However, on a YoY basis, the <strong>com</strong>pany did better than last<br />

year. The topline came in at | 212.3 crore (I-direct estimate - | 209.2<br />

crore), growing 2.6% YoY. The margins expanded 307 bps YoY to 19.6%<br />

due to lower cost of movies in this quarter. The PAT came in at | 31.8<br />

crore against our estimate of | 28.0 crore, growing 7.0% YoY. On a full<br />

year basis, the <strong>com</strong>pany reported a modest revenue and PAT growth of<br />

13.1% and 4.5% as a couple of movies had their release pushed into<br />

FY14 including Rajinikanth starrrer Kochadaiyaan and Go Goa Gone. Such<br />

delays could be a possibility subsequently as well. Owing to relatively<br />

fewer big starrer movies in FY14, we have lowered our EPS estimate for<br />

FY14 from | 22.3 to | 16.6. We have valued the stock at 12x FY14E EPS to<br />

arrive at a target price of | 200. We maintain our BUY re<strong>com</strong>mendation<br />

on the stock.<br />

Delay in movies leads to moderate growth…<br />

<strong>Eros</strong> released low budget movies like Attacks of 26/11, Table No 21 and<br />

3G, which did not do well at the box office. However, the revenue from<br />

sale of catalogue helped the <strong>com</strong>pany post modest growth in its revenue.<br />

On a full year basis, the <strong>com</strong>pany did better with 13.1% revenue growth<br />

brought about by movies like Son of Sardaar, Khiladi 786, Housefull 2,<br />

etc. <strong>Eros</strong> had two out of top 10 movies at the box office in CY12. Going<br />

forward, the content pipeline of the <strong>com</strong>pany is exciting but timely<br />

releases of content remains a doubt. We have factored in revenue, PAT<br />

CAGR of 17.8%, 12.6%, respectively, in FY13-15.<br />

Valuations attractive; maintain BUY…<br />

We believe with the emergence of multiplexes, which are still expanding<br />

their presence; the dynamics of the film industry are changing positively.<br />

However, due to relatively fewer big starrer movies in FY14, we have<br />

lowered our EPS estimate for FY14 from | 22.3 to | 16.6. We maintain<br />

BUY on the stock with a target price of | 200.<br />

Result analysis<br />

Weak quarter; movies fail to impress…<br />

<strong>Eros</strong> released low budget movies like Attacks of 26/11, Table No 21 and<br />

3G, which failed to leave a mark at the box office. However, the revenue<br />

from sale of catalogue helped the <strong>com</strong>pany post modest growth in its<br />

revenue.<br />

With movies not doing so well, the margins of the <strong>com</strong>pany fell sharply<br />

on a QoQ basis but improved 307 bps on a YoY basis to 19.6% as a<br />

relatively big budget movie failed at the box office in Q4FY12.<br />

like Kochadaiyaan, Happy Ending, Yeh Jawani Hai Diwani (overseas) and<br />

Outlook & valuation<br />

The results of the quarter were in line with our estimates in spite of the<br />

postponement of Kochadaiyaan from Q4FY13 to Q2FY14. On a full year<br />

basis, the <strong>com</strong>pany posted revenue growth of 13.1%, in spite of the delay<br />

in Kochadaiyaan. However, such delays can be expected subsequently as<br />

well prompting us to revise our earlier estimates of number of movies<br />

released subsequently.<br />

The cost of acquiring movies has been rising sharply and the<br />

management indicated that the <strong>com</strong>pany would restrain from bidding<br />

aggressively in line with its strategy of focussing on profitability. Though<br />

this strategy would help the margins, revenue growth of the <strong>com</strong>pany,<br />

until the content price corrects, would be under pressure. Also, the<br />

<strong>com</strong>pany’s current line up has relatively fewer big starrer movies in FY14.<br />

However, we continue to believe in the changing dynamics of the film<br />

industry brought about by emergence of multiplexes. Multiplexes like<br />

PVR have plans of aggressive expansion, which would further benefit<br />

producers/distributors. Also, with investment in newer streams of<br />

revenue monetisation like the online portal <strong>Eros</strong>now and launching of two<br />

channels with HBO would further help drive the <strong>com</strong>pany’s revenue.<br />

<strong>Eros</strong> is trading at a significant discount to other media businesses and we<br />

believe a re-rating of the stock is on the cards. We continue to value the<br />

stock at 12x FY14E EPS to arrive at a target price of | 200. We maintain<br />

BUY.<br />
