QPAC-Indian Media & Entertainment Industry- July - September 2010

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
According to IMF, the world economy led by emerging markets is forecast to grow by 4.8% in 2010 before falling back to 4.2% next year, but a sharper global slowdown is unlikely. The global recovery remains fragile, because strong policies to foster internal rebalancing of demand from public to private sources and external rebalancing from deficit to surplus economies are not yet in place. In growth terms, emerging countries like China and India are expected to have higher growth during the period 2010-11. India, an emerging economy, has witnessed unprecedented levels of economic expansion, along with countries like China, Russia, Mexico and Brazil. India, being a cost effective and labor intensive economy, has benefited immensely from outsourcing of work from developed countries, and a strong manufacturing and export oriented industrial framework. With the economic pace picking up, global commodity prices have staged a comeback from their lows and global trade has also seen healthy growth over the last two years. Upbeat over a normal monsoon and the robust industry and services sectors, the Reserve Bank of India raised its projections for economic growth to 8.5% this fiscal from the earlier estimate of 8%, but warned that a global slowdown may cast a shadow on the economy. Consumer spending has bounced back strongly since September 2009 quarter, and private final consumption expenditure is projected to expand by 7% in 2010-11. The manufacturing sector and the trade-hotel-transport-communication segment of the services sector are likely to be the major drivers of this growth. Media, the fourth estate, when entwined with the entertainment component represents an effective facet of consumers in India. The Indian Media and Entertainment (M&E) industry stood at US$12.9 billion in 2009 registering a 1.4% growth over last year. Over the next five years, the industry is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13% to reach the size of US$24.04 billion by 2014. The main segments of the industry are broadly divided into three parts like Broadcast and Television (TV), music and Radio. As per Cygnus estimate, the industry is expected to grow by 12.10% to Rs17590.24m. Operating profit Margin is estimated to be 29.60% to reach Rs5204.70m in JAS10. Net profit margin is expected to reach 20.80% to Rs3657.00m in JAS10, against Rs2997.90m in JAS09. Additionally, the gaming segment is expected to be the fastest growing sector in the M&E industry. The sector showed a 22% growth in 2009 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 32% to reach US$705.2m by 2014, while the animation segment is expected to record a CAGR of 18.7% in the next five years. Good performance of the industry will be driven by strong turnaround by the electronic media and strong profit growth by the print media. Companies like Zee Entertainment Enterprises, PVR, Inox Leisure Ltd and Balaji Telefilms Ltd are expected to register double digit growth rate in JAS 2010 and also likely to register in the financial years. The companies are expected to show robust growth in coming future due to increase in advertisement rates and fresh advertisement by FMCG companies. Margins are expected to be at their best on account of robust profit growth due to low input cost, low capex expenditure and lower interest rates. Technology has played a key role in influencing the entertainment industry, by redefining its products, cost structure and distribution. The M&E Industry captures a wide variety of companies that serve to provide products and services that keep the everyday consumer engaged. India is becoming a hot market for brands, characters, entertainment and sports licensing and has a longterm growth potential. Good content releases from large production houses, occupancy rates of the multiplexes are continuously increasing over last few months. A number of international organizations are keen to ally with local firms and licensing is fast being acknowledged as the optimal entry mode for these alliances given the stringent FDI norms in the country.

QPAC-Indian Media & Entertainment Industry- July - September 2010
Industry estimated indicates that advertisement rates in English dailies operate between 5-10 times the rate for the Hindi and Vernacular. Hence, despite having higher number of registered newspapers, higher readership: circulation multiple and lower CPT (cost per thousand readers), Hindi dailies command a lower share of the Advertising Revenue. On an average, it is estimated that English newspapers contribute approximately 45% of the advertisement market, with Regional Print constituting 50% share. According to the study by Zenith Optimedia, the global advertising industry is expected to grow by 2.2% in 2010. It has forecasted 9% growth for India’s advertising industry for this year. The total ad expenditure for India is projected to touch Rs236.31 billion this year. Newspaper advertising, which grew 5% in 2009, is likely to see 7-8% annual growth this year. Rising literacy levels and better distribution in the regions are steadily improving the reach of newspapers. The survey also predicts a healthy 11-12% growth for television in India riding on the digital wave and advertising opportunities offered by the new “larger than life” entertainment formats. The growth story will come from digital properties, especially those in the mobile domain. Other key contributors will be cricket and reality content apart from rising ad rates. This trend is likely to continue as the country hosts the Commonwealth Games this year. Internet advertising in India will be driven by social media. It pegs Internet advertising growth at an annual 25% in the coming three years. Increased competition for print media helping newsprint price rise Print media companies are expected to face increased competition. Regional media are expected to grow faster and print is no exception. Of the more than 62,000 newspaper printed, around 92% are published in Hindi and other vernacular languages. Print media companies are moving into new territories to increase their share of consumers, which would form a base to provide advertisers with a wider footprint. HT Media has offered Hindustan Times and Hindustani in a combo at a price of Rs3 (cover price Rs6). DB Corp plans to enter Bihar and Jharkhand. For the newsprint, the domestic Newsprint (tonnes) companies have to heavily rely FY05 FY06 FY07 FY08 FY09 on imports due to demand Production 764776 912907 1032169 1038610 1104178 supply mismatch at the domestic Imports 704227 696736 794221 894763 976006 market.

Quality concerns of domestic newsprint also force publishers to look for imported newsprint. Currently, newsprint prices have firmed up by 20-25% from the bottom with current quotations at US$590-610 metric tonnes but the current cycle seems benign with a wide supply-demand gap. Against this backdrop, Indian publishers for whom newsprint constitutes the single largest cost element, accounting for 40-60% of total cost, will have impact on their margins but not to the extent of the JAS 10 quarter. Broadcasting Scenario in India Annual growth rate for the television industry is projected to be 22% and for the radio industry, the growth rate is projected to be at the rate of 28% over the next five years. At present, there are 110million TV households in India, out of which 70million are cable and satellite homes and rest 40million are served by the public broadcaster, i.e. Doordarshan (DD). Similarly, there are 132million radio sets in the country. Film Industry Indian film industry stood at US$1.96 billion in 2009. The industry is projected to grow at a CAGR of 9% and reach US$3 billion by 2014. Growth drivers for the sector would include expansion of factors like an increase in the number of multiplex screens, digital screens facilitating wider releases, higher cable and satellite revenues, improving collections from the overseas markets and supplementary revenue streams like DTH, digital downloads and others, which are expected to emerge in future. Films Division has been motivating the broadest spectrum of the Indian public with a view to enlist their active participation in nation building activities.

Some of the communal flare-ups—such as Babri Masjid in 1992, Godhra in 2002, and the large exodus of India’s northeastern migrants from the southern cities in 2012 due to fear of attacks by Muslims— have rocked the whole country in the past. In 2013, the country again witnessed communal riots between Jat Hindus and Muslims in the town of Muzaffarnagar (located in the state of Uttar Pradesh), which has been deemed as ―the worst instance of political violence in the country in the last decade‖. In addition, the government’s assent to the creation of a new state of Telangana in southern India has brought intensified demands for new states in other parts of the country, either on ethnic lines or for better administration.
