Jul 16, 215 Consumer Discretionary Jul 16, 215 Bloomberg Code: INOL IN India Research - Stock Broking Living the Movie Experience Inox Expanding its Presence and Strengthening its Foothold in Movie Exhibition Industry: Inox has 372 screens in its kitty and is second largest player in Indian multiplex industry with market share of 22%. The company is planning to add 55-6 screens per annum for the next couple of years and has target of 557 screens by 218. Out of the 6 properties expected to come into stream in 216, 4% is expected to be in metros and 46% of screens are likely to be present in North & Western regions which will support the growth of Average Ticket Prices (ATP). Better Movie Content & Increased Screening of Regional & Hollywood Movies to Drive Footfalls: We expect the occupancy to improve on the back of improving movie content with couple of Salman Khan & Shahrukh Khan movies lined up in FY16E and FY17E along with Hollywood movies. With Satyam cinemas coming into fold, which is one of the few properties which has higher occupancy level compared to pan India level, along with better content is expected to drive footfalls. Footfalls are likely to increase from 41.1 mn in FY15 to 55 mn in FY17E and grow at CAGR of 16% for FY15-17E and occupancy level is likely to be at 26% & 27% for FY16E& FY17E respectively. Valuation and Outlook Inox is the second largest player in the Indian movie exhibition industry and is narrowing its gap with the industry leader on most of the metrics. We value the company on the basis of EV/EBITDA and assign multiple of 1x and arrive at target price of Rs.239 with BUY rating for period of 9-12 months representing an upside of 2%. We have given a premium to the valuation considering the Inox s market position in movie exhibition business and stronger balance sheet. In movie exhibition industry, EV/EBITDA valuation for the multiplexes ranges in the band of 9-13 times. Key Risks ychange in the revenue sharing model between exhibitors & distributors. yincrease in entertainment taxes & lower footfalls. yquality of content. Recommendation (Rs.)

Low Density of Screens Jul 16, 215 India has approximately 96 screens, out of which 18% of them are multiplex formats. Screen density in India is at 8 per mn is low compared to other nations such as China s 31 and USA which has 125 screens per million. Multiplex screen density in India is very negligible at ~2 per million indicating growth opportunities for the multiplex operators. India produced close to 12 movies in 214 which is one of the largest movie producers globally. However, India s box office collection stood at $1.6 Bn which is lower compared to other countries. China s box office collections for 214 stood at $4.5 bn which is the second largest market for box office and has produced ~618 movies and has close to 22 screens.

Last couple of years were important for film exhibition business not because of its content but for the consolidation which lead to the emergence of 4 major players in the industry. Carnival, which was small player, has entered into top league after buying out Big cinemas. Another major player Cinepolis, the Mexican player, has bought out Fun cinemas which was the fifth largest player in India. Inox leisure has acquired Satyam cinemas which gave leeway to strengthen its foothold in North India & cinemas bought out DT cinemas from DLF which was catering to National Capital Region (NCR).

Jul 16, 215 With leading exhibitors on full scale to ramp up their number of screens in next few years, we expect the scenario to shift in the favor of movie exhibitors as they gain market shares in the industry, with higher negotiability powers.

Net revenue per screen stood at Rs. 14.8 Mn at FY15 and is expected to improve to Rs.16.1 Mn in FY17E, though it s still lower compared to (Rs 17.6 Mn) which provides scope of improvement for Inox. At the end of FY15, Inox has increased its portfolio presence in North India has increased to 22% from 15% by acquiring Satyam cinemas (38 Screens) to strengthen its footprint in north India. By acquiring Satyam cinemas, Inox has narrowed its gap against to 58 screens in 215 from 8 screens in 214 and will help to boost the ATP for Inox as Northern & western regions fetch higher ATPs. With big star movies lined up, exhibitors increase the prices in the first weekend and they opt for flexible ticket prices which supports the box office collections. Gross Box Office Collections (GBOC) are expected to grow at CAGR of 9.2% and reach Rs. 145 bn in 219 compared to Rs.99.9 bn in 214. Better movie content & increased screening of regional & Hollywood movies to drive footfalls In FY15, occupancy rate was at 25% mainly because of weak content and we expect the occupancy to improve on the back of improving movie content with couple of Salman Khan & Shahrukh Khan movies lined up along with Hollywood movies in FY16E and FY17E. With Satyam cinemas coming into fold, which is one of the few properties which has higher occupancy level compared to pan India level, along with better content is expected to drive footfalls. Footfalls are likely to increase from 41.1 mn in FY15 to 55 mn in FY17E and grow at CAGR of 16% for FY15-17E and occupancy level is likely to be at 26% & 27% for FY16E and FY17E respectively. Number of movies crossing Rs 1 Mn club has been increasing over the years which is encouraging sign and number of regional movies have also entered the club. Recently, Fast & Furious 7 has entered the Rs.1 Mn club, which is the first Hollywood movie In India to do and it shows the importance of Hollywood movies and this trend is likely to be seen in future as multiplexes are increasing their presence in Tier II & Tier III cities. These factors are likely to push the box office revenues to grow from Rs. 99.9 Bn to Rs. 145.1 Bn at CAGR of 9.2% for FY15- FY19E.
