TV Today Network | 3QFY2019 Result Update
Key investment arguments
Strong viewership in Hindi and English news genre
TTNL has strong viewership ranking among the Hindi and English news channels.
The company’s Hindi news genre i.e. Aaj Tak, has continued to maintain its
leadership position for several consecutive years (ranks No. 1 in its viewership
ranking). Aaj Tak continues to dominate by being the channel of choice during key
national and international events. Further, TTNL’s English news genre i.e. India
Today has been continuously gaining viewership ranking. Moreover, the
company’s other channels like Dilli Aaj Tak and TEZ are also popular among the
viewers. The company’s more than 90% revenue comes from Aaj Tak and India
Today channels.
TV industry growth of ~16% CAGR over CY2014-19E to aid TTNL’s
performance
Going forward, we expect TV ad growth to report 16% CAGR over CY2014-19E
on the back of an increase in ad spends by corporate sector, government and
emergence of e-commerce as a significant new category coupled with an
improvement in subscription revenue (due to digitization of phase 3 & 4).
Outlook and Valuation
Going forward, we expect TTNL to report net revenue CAGR of ~11% over
FY2018-20E to ~`880cr and net profit CAGR of ~12% over the same period
to `162cr on the back of leadership position in Hindi news genre and
upcoming elections. TTNL is a debt free company with decent cash on balance
sheet. At the current market price of `323, the stock trades at a PE of 13.2x
and 12x its FY2019E and FY2020E EPS of `23.9 and `27.6 respectively. We
recommend BUY on TTNL with a Target Price of `498.
Risks
1) Losing leadership position in viewership ranking could affect the
company’s advertisement revenue, and hence poses a downside risk to
our estimates.
2)
Overall slowdown in the Indian economy could impact the advertisement
spends, which could be negative for TTNL.
3) Delay in digitalization could impact the company’s subscription revenue
growth.
Company Background
TV Today Network (TTNL) is one of the leading Indian Hindi and English news
television networks. The company's operating segments include television (TV)
broadcasting and radio broadcasting. The company operates four news channels,
which include Aaj Tak, India Today (earlier know as Headlines Today), TEZ and
Dilli Aaj Tak. The company is also engaged in publishing, and its publications
include India Today, Business Today, etc. Moreover, TTNL is associated with well
know anchors like Rajdeep Sardesai and Karan Thapar. Living Media India Limited
is the holding company of TTNL.
