Secular data growth continues – upgrade to HOLD
Idea reported better-than-expected Q3FY15 results, with revenues up 5.9%
QoQ on 19%/5% data/voice revenue growth and EBITDA margins expanding
140bps QoQ on lower network costs. While we have been cautious on the
REPORT AUTHORS
sector given high expectations from voice pricing, these have now
moderated. Also, Idea has underperformed the Nifty by 28% and data
Rumit Dugar
penetration remains a secular growth driver for the company. Upgrade from
SELL to HOLD with a Mar’16 TP of Rs 160 (Rs 135 earlier).

 Data-led revenue growth: Idea’s Q3 revenues grew 5.9% QoQ, beating RCMLe of
5.2%, with 6.9mn subscriber additions and a 3.7% ARPU QoQ improvement to
Rs 182. MOUs increased 1% QoQ to 388 minutes while voice realisations were flat
QoQ at 36p/min. The solid 19% QoQ data revenue growth was driven by a 17%/
1.5% increase in volumes/realisations. EBITDA margins expanded 140bps QoQ to
34.3% on lower network costs. PAT at Rs 7.6bn (+61% YoY) came in slightly ahead
estimates (RCMLe: Rs 7.4bn).

 Debt to go up in upcoming auctions: With capital raised via a QIP, Idea’s net debt
has declined to Rs 120bn from Rs 128bn in Q2FY15, implying a 1.12x net-debt/
EBITDA (FY15) multiple. However, we think the company will have to continue
investments in expanding its network and acquiring spectrum assets. We note that
strong data growth needs Idea to defend its spectrum share in the upcoming
auctions, which could lead to high gearing. We estimate outflows of Rs 174bn for
the company in the upcoming auctions.


Upgrade to HOLD: Data growth remains strong and with Idea’s strong execution,
valuations at 5.6x EV/EBITDA are not expensive. We raise our FY16/FY17 EBITDA
estimates by 13% to factor in better margins and data revenues. We have a Mar’16
TP of Rs 160 (rolled over from a Dec’15 TP of Rs 135 earlier) for the stock set at 6.5x
FY17E EV/EBITDA. Upcoming spectrum auctions remain a key stock overhang.
