Institutional Equities PVR 1QFY20 Result Update Reuters: PVRL.BO; Bloomberg: PVRL IN Slowdown resistant; strong performance PVR posted decent numbers for 1QFY20, broadly in line with our estimates. Revenue increased by 26.4% YoY, due to added SPI revenue (not in the base quarter) with 11% growth in PVR standalone. With content remaining weak in 1QFY20 compared to last year (coupled with lower footfalls on account of Cricket World Cup), PVR focused on improving SPH and Ad revenue. SPH and ad revenue picked up by 8%/28% YoY, respectively. The major uptick in ad revenue was driven by following factors: (1) Focus on yields (2) No SPI revenue in the base quarter (3) Signing of long-term contracts with corporates and (4) Few blockbuster releases e.g. ‘Kalank’, ‘Bharat’ and ‘Avengers: Endgame’ which commanded better rates. Adjusted (for IndAS116) EBITDA margin stood at 18%, 170bps decline from 1QFY19 due to increased rebranding and employee benefit costs (quite a bit being one-off). Reported EBITDA margin stood at 31.6% due to decreased rent expenses (as per new IndAS116). After acquiring SPI, PVR is not cutting back on expansion. Fifty new screens have been opened in the last four months. After getting good response from Tier-II and Tier-III cities, PVR is also gearing up to expand into lower Tier cities in a major way. Though management highlighted the risk of slowdown in economy leading to possible delayed delivery of screens from real-estate players, PVR will most likely exceed its guided screen opening target of 80 in FY20. Visibility in terms of screen expansion in FY21 and beyond is a bit hazy at this stage. Post 1QFY20 results, our estimates for both FY20 and FY21 do not change nor do our target prices. However due to the stock run up we have reduced rating to Accumulate. We have assigned a target EV/EBITDA multiple of 12.5x for PVR on its FY21E EBITDA (ex IndAS116). The premium commanded by PVR is because of its dominant position in the industry, its market-leading operating metrics in ticket pricing, F&B pricing and also on advertising revenue per screen. While we like both PVR and Inox Leisure, we have held the view that the large valuation gap between Inox and PVR will narrow as Inox tries to address the problems connected with its advertisement and F&B revenue weakness (see our report on this here ). Our investment thesis on the sector is given inside this note. Expecting a strong 2Q and 3QFY20: The box office has already seen good content in 2QFY20 i.e. ‘Kabir Singh’, ‘Super-30’ and ‘Lion King’. As per the pipeline, 3QFY20, the festival quarter, looks good. 3QFY20 is expected to do well in particular as 3QFY19 was weak on content.

Slowdown resistant; strong performance PVR posted decent numbers for 1QFY20, broadly in line with our estimates. Revenue increased by 26.4% YoY, due to added SPI revenue (not in the base quarter) with 11% growth in PVR standalone.

Source: Company, Nirmal Bang Institutional Equities Research, Note: Estimates are ex-IndAS116

We are positive on the film exhibition sector (see our sector report: Indian Film Exhibition Sector- Oligopolistic Business In Its Infancy). We believe that: (1) Indian multiplex industry is an oligopoly (top four players control ~70% of screens) and will remain so as entry barriers are quite formidable and there are no substitutes. This industry’s structure will deliver steady revenue growth, and improve margins as well as RoIC over a long period of time. (2) PVR and Inox Leisure (the two large players) can deliver in the next 10 years at least 5%-10% volume/footfall growth (new screen-driven, attracting both single-screen and new generation customers) per year, respectively, with the rise in realisation at 4%-5%. This will result in revenue CAGR of 10%-15% with PAT growing a tad faster. Structurally, expectations of a rise in relevant customer households which can afford this type of entertainment (currently at 8%-11% of total, in our view) is going to drive demand. Same store/screen sales growth (SSG), in our view, will be realisation-led at 4%-6%. We believe that: (1) These players deserve premium valuations, considering the longevity of earnings compounding and good RoICs. (2) Expensive M&A activity in the past five years and consequent weak return ratios are a small price to pay for achieving consolidation in a nascent industry. Over the long run, as organic growth predominates, the benefits of a better industry structure will far outweigh the price paid. We believe the stranglehold over retail real estate (and slow pace of its expansion) will be the key driver of positive industry dynamics. This will lead to a steady increase in capacity, solid pricing power and a high occupancy rate. The key risk to sector earnings tends to be the volatility induced by success of content. This is a very difficult thing to predict. Some movies may look great on paper, but may turn out to be duds at the box office. But increasingly the content risk is being lowered as Hollywood and regional movies (both in their original and dubbed versions) are able to command a greater share of GBOC. Also, of late, the content has been less star-driven and more based on good story lines which may be a structural shift happening in the industry for the better.

3 PVR

Takeaways from 1QFY20 results and analyst call

Screen opening guidance maintained

PVR maintained screen-opening guidance of 80 screens for FY20 with a similar or higher number likely going forward too. Capex of Rs5bn has been earmarked for the year and includes renovation capex. In case the current economic slowdown continues and real estate players are badly affected there could be an adverse impact on expansion beyond FY20. However, the view on expansion beyond FY20 will be taken in Dec’19. The plan is to have 1000 screens in the next 24 months.

Impact of IndAS116:

Starting 1 April 2019, PVR has shifted to IndAS116 accounting of operating leases.

Operating lease model has been converted to finance lease model, leading to capitalization of operating leases.

PV of future rentals have been recognised as “Right of Use” (“RoU”) asset and its corresponding “Lease liability”.

‘RoU’ and ‘Lease Liability’ will continue to increase incrementally as new screens are added.

There is no economic impact on the business and on cash flow.

RoU is amortised on a straight-line basis over the lease period and lease payments are apportioned between finance charge and reduction of the lease liability.

EBITDA margin gets bloated to the extent of the lease rentals that PVR used to pay in the past (17-18% of revenue). But, depreciation and interest costs are increased.

On a consolidated basis in 1QFY20, the finance costs/ depreciation expenses increased by Rs899mn/709mn, respectively. While the other expense, which includes rent, declined by Rs1199mn.

Because lease rentals are being expensed on a straight line basis in the new accounting methodology (instead of staggered increases in the past), for the same property, the PAT will be depressed initially but will increase as the lease is close to expiration

In our numbers, we have decided to the stick to projecting numbers on ex-IndAS116 basis for some time so that investors get an understanding about the margins and the ratios on a comparable basis.

Recession resistant but not recession proof

With Indian economy seeing a significant deceleration in recent quarters, management fielded questions revolving around impact on its business. It stated that the business is not recession proof but it is recession resistant. It indicated that the core operations of box office and F&B do not get impacted very much. However, in intense slowdowns, corporate spending on advertising is slower and that will impact a high gross margin revenue stream. Management indicated that it has put in all efforts to gain its fair share of the advertising spend through micro-market strategies.

What might get hit if the slowdown persists would be screen rollout, especially if the real estate market gets impacted adversely and mall operators are not in a financial condition to complete their projects.

Advertising revenue picks up, gross ATP declines, margins impacted by one-off expenses

In 1QFY20, PVR showed strong operational performance. Revenue was broadly in line with estimates standing at Rs8804mn, an increase of 26.4% YoY. The YoY increase was due to revenue from SPI cinemas, absent in the base quarter. Adjusted EBITDA stood at 18% (vis-à-vis our estimate of 18.2%), which was a decline of 170bps YoY. The lower adjusted EBITDA

Institutional Equities

4 PVR

was due to rapid expansion (addition on 50 screens in last four months), increased employee cost (for the new screens, also better employees at higher pay for the premium screens, training, uniforms etc) and increased cost of rebranding of the reopened-after- refurbishment PVR Phoenix Mill, Lower Parel property. It was indicated that about 200-300 bps of costs in the quarter would have been one-off.

In advertising which is a high gross margin business (~90-95%), PVR admitted that the rates have been under pressure in the last couple of years due to higher competitive intensity (acknowledging indirectly, success of the advertising revenue strategy of Inox). Lately, the focus has been on keeping the volume constant and pushing up the rates. It was indicated that growth in 1QFY20 has entirely comes from higher rates. We believe that PVR may have taken a rack rate hike starting 1 April 2019 (possibly by 10%).

On a consolidated basis, the advertisement income grew by 28% YoY on account of signing of long term contracts and also addition of SPI cinema. Some blockbuster releases in 1QFY20 also helped with the advertisement revenue. The gross ATP decreased by 6% on account of weaker content in 1QFY20 and also because of a change in taxation – GST rate being brought down from 28% to 18%. PVR reiterated its guidance of delivering low single digit net ATP growth on a YoY basis. The occupancy increased by 140bps YoY, standing at 37.3%, primarily due to strong occupancy in SPI cinemas (52.5%).

While there were no YoY numbers to compare, SPI cinemas standalone performance was good this quarter. There was an average occupancy of 52.5%. The admissions stood at 3.9 million. Revenue stood at Rs1175mn. Adjusted operating margin stood at 24%. The performance was driven by Hollywood content in the quarter. The ground work of fully integrating SPI with PVR will be completed by 3QFY20. PVR reiterated that it is looking at generating Rs1bn (ex- IndAS116) of EBITDA from SPI in FY20.

Gross standalone ATP stood at Rs209. It declined by ~3.6% YoY which is in line with expectations and guidance. The YoY decline in ATP was because of strong content in 1QFY19. Gross ATP also increased for SPI Cinemas on a standalone basis from Rs158 in 4QFY19 to Rs163 in 1QFY20, primarily because of strong traction of Hollywood content as regional content remained weak.

SPH picks up in 1QFY20

Because of the F&B controversy, PVR had cut F&B prices in Maharashtra and had also come up with deals on certain days. We understand from the company that this has not led to any serious uptick in volume on the F&B front. But the SPH numbers seem to have recovered after being affected by the PIL controversy for three quarters. Gross SPH increased by ~8.5% YoY to Rs102. 1QFY19 was affected adversely by the F&B controversy. Going forward, the SPH is expected to improve even further. The increase in SPH has been driven by better conversion as well as a change in Menu to sell premium products.

MENA region joint venture plans abandoned

Management had stated in previous con-calls that PVR aimed at entering the Middle East & Asia (MENA) region by way of joint ventures or JVs where it could bring in its own operational expertise with the funds provided by JV partners to set up PVR cinemas. But in the 4QFY19 and 1QFY20 con-call, management has indicated that the MENA venture has been scrapped because of the nascent stage of middle-east movie market and has decided to let its previous MoU expire regarding the JV.

Exploring off-screen advertisement

PVR has bagged many sponsors for off-screen advertisement (particularly in Southern Geography). With its average advertisement minutes per show reaching its peak (17min-22mins), PVR is exploring off-screen advertisement as another revenue stream. Currently, it

Institutional Equities

5 PVR

was indicated that offscreen advertising forms about 10% of its total advertising revenue and the hope is to grow this aggressively in the days to come.

PVR Pictures- The distribution business

PVR has been distributing films for many years under the banner of ‘PVR Pictures’ and has decided to step up its Hindi/regional language film distribution as its foreign language films distribution has peaked out. 2QFY20 will have strong traction from distribution of Indian films. A sum of ~US$10mn has been earmarked for the distribution business largely for working capital. The distribution margin varies on a case to case basis. Pre-tax IRR of 20% is targeted for this business. The reason for expansion in this business stems from the fact that PVR sees consistent availability of good content.

Tier-2, Tier-3 city expansion strategy

‘PVR Talkies’ has been the low cost sub-brand PVR had intended to use to expand into Tier-2, Tier-3 cities. A brand makeover is likely in the coming days. The sub-brand is currently in the pilot stage under which a couple of cinemas are running and operations are being fine-tuned before a larger roll out happens. PVR indicated that it is very bullish on prospects here. PVR is strongly in favor of expanding into Tier-II and III cities. It believes that these small towns hold enormous opportunities for the multiplex market.

For increasing return ratios in this market segment, PVR is trying to bring down the capex/screen from Rs25mn-Rs30mn in a typical Tier-1 city to Rs17.5mn in a Tier-2 and Tier-3 city. It is targeting an ATP of Rs125-135 for these cities. It is looking for an occupancy level of 25%-30%. The SPH is currently at ~Rs35 but PVR is targeting to take it up to ~Rs50-Rs60. Advertisement revenue per screen is aimed is ~Rs4.5mn for a property having 2-3 screens which is actually in line with its existing portfolio number. PVR currently has ~40 screens in Tier-III cities (5% of the total base). 10% of PVR’s 794 screens are premium screens.

Miscellaneous

PVR mentioned that the cheaper access to OTT was never a problem for the multiplexes as multiplexes are the peddlers of ‘experience’ and OTT platforms are the peddlers of only ‘content’.

PVR is planning a QIP in FY20. The enabling resolution that was taken a few quarters back expires in January 2020. We believe the QIP will likely happen only at a reasonable price and we believe management is quite comfortable with the current net debt to equity ratio. It believes that all of its expansion in forthcoming quarters can be funded through internal cash flows and would not require any external funding (either debt or equity).
