Programming cost fell 6% YoY to INR6.5b (in-line). This quarter includes only two months of Sports biz numbers (which was sold to Sony). Hence, revenues and costs to that extent are lower than the base quarter. Revenue remained flat YoY at INR15.28b (in-line) despite disappointing ad growth (INR8.47b v/s est. of INR8.81b), as higher-than-expected other sales and services offset the impact of soft ad growth. Domestic ad growth marginally short of expectations : Headline ad revenue remained flat YoY. Both international and domestic ad revenues fell short of already soft expectations (given Sports Biz sale and high base effect of 4QFY17). Domestic ad revenue grew 8% YoY to INR7.94b (est. of INR8.05b). However, Zee performed better than industry, which saw marginally negativeto-flat YoY ad growth in 4Q. The larger part of overall ad miss came from international ad revenue (-53% YoY to INR525m v/s est. of INR766m) as (1) the base quarter included two popular cricket events in Pakistan, which had boosted ad income and (2) certain international issues in Bangladesh/Nigeria. but domestic subscription in-line: Domestic subscription declined 3% YoY to INR4.5b (in-line) as the base quarter included some catch-up revenue. Exsports, domestic subscription growth was 13.5% in FY17. Non-sports margin exceeds estimate by 100bp: Non-sports margin expanded 94bp YoY to 32.9% (est. of 31.8%) as Zee controlled its opex to offset subdued revenues. Non-sports opex grew 3% YoY v/s revenue growth of 4.4%. Valuation and view: We expect ad growth to revert to normal post 1Q. We tone down our earnings estimate by 5% for FY18E/FY19E to factor in lower other income than earlier expected. We also revise our TP to INR600 (prior: INR610) based on 30x FY19E EPS (ex-&tv) plus INR19 toward &TV DCF value less INR19 toward pref. share liability. Maintain Buy.

3QFY17 Earnings Call Highlights Advertisement Outlook: Management expects some deferred launches in the FMCG segment (~55-60% of Zee s ad revenues) to come through over the next couple of quarters. Ex-sports Domestic subscription grew 13.7%: Domestic subscription growth (exsports stood at 13.7%. Margin Outlook: While post the sports sale, margins could surge north 30%; however, management intends to re-invest in fresh content and maintain ~30% margins over the long-term. Programming strategy and costs: Zee intends to rev up its original programming hours (OPH) for its flagship Zee TV to ~30 hours/week (currently: 25-26 hours/week) and &TV to 24-25hours/week (currently ~20 hours/week) by end FY17. However, the immediate focus is to increase viewership share in the Prime time band. A commensurate viewership gain could help in better ad monetization Management views on TRAI s new content regulation: Unless, the courts levy more conditions on the current form of regulations, the RIO rolled out by Zee is what the network expects to implement. Network Performance: ZEE s viewership share excluding sports on a network level was 15.9%. Zee TV + &TV had a combined share of 21% in the Pay Hindi GEC genre. Zee Anmol ranked third in the FTA space. Zee s regional portfolio is performing well. It has managed to gain significant viewership share in the Tamil market. Zee s share in HD content: Management estimates ~all of the ~9m HD subscriber base in India to have subscribed to at least one of the channels of the network Digital Strategy: Zee intends to revamp its digital strategy for its OTT Platform OZEE. Finer details of the strategy will be disclosed post 1HCY17. The new acquisition Margo A (for INR750m) is expected to play an enabler. &TV: &TV s 3 year break-even guidance maintained. Ad revenue flat YoY; 4% below estimates Ad revenue growth remained flat YoY at INR8.46b. (vs est: INR8.81b). Domestic ad growth (ex sports) grew 8% YoY to INR7.94b.

Strong performance of its recently launched &TV has strengthened Zee s presence in this core segment, driving market share gains. Zee also has a strong subscription income base and would further benefit from mandatory digitization. While domestic subscription growth is expected to remain strong, significant acceleration is likely only from FY18 post phase III digitization.
