**[investwise]** UTV Software-Value Proposition; Trading At 9X FY12e Earnings

 

Morgan Stanley India Research

UTV Software: Emerging Media And Entertainment Giant

Bull Case scenario-Target Price Rs 750

Moderate Success Scenario-Target Price Rs 540

 

Investment Thesis

 

UTV is trying to create a niche in some of the fastest growing media

businesses – movies and gaming.

 

Launch of three IPs over the next two years should result in the gaming

division accounting for 32% of total F13e EBITDA.

 

Attractive slate of 12 movies expected to be released over F11-F12 should result in earnings growth of 31% for the films division over F10-F12e.

 

Broadcasting ventures should turn profitable in F11 and TV content

should continue to grow steadily

 

EV/EBITDA of 9.2x based on F12E indicates good upside from here.

 

Key Value Drivers

 

Timing of launches, pricing and number of console games sold.

 

Success of films measured through average gross collections per film,

slope of improvement in non-theatrical revenues.

 

Television ad market growth, rate of improvement in pay TV subscribers.

 

Pace of growth in new media businesses.

 

Catalysts

 

Success in release of films like Gujarish and Saat Khoon Maaf in F11

 

Release of own IP EI Shaddai should be another trigger for the stock.

 

Any announcement related to pre-sales of own IP should also act as

a catalyst

 

Safe Harbor Statement:

Some forward looking statements on projections, estimates, expectations & outlook are included to enable a better comprehension of the Company prospects. Actual results may, however, differ materially from those stated on account of factors such as changes in government regulations, tax regimes, economic developments within India and the countries within which the Company conducts its business, exchange rate and interest rate movements, impact of competing products and their pricing, product demand and supply constraints.
