Mumbai, June 3, 2015 – Videocon d2h Limited (NASDAQ: VDTH) (“Videocon d2h” or the “Company”) announced its financial results for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2015. The Company management, led by Saurabh Dhoot, Executive Chairman, will hold two conference calls to discuss the results on June 4, 2015 (call in details are set out below). This is the Company’s first earnings release since the listing of its American Depositary Shares on the NASDAQ on the April 1, 2015.

Commenting on the results, Mr. Dhoot, said “We are pleased to announce that we successfully listed American Depositary Shares on NASDAQ in April, becoming the most valued Indian company to be listed on the NASDAQ. We are happy to share our results for fiscal 2015. We maintained our market leadership in subscriber growth and reported key financial metrics ahead of the guidance provided during the listing process. We believe, with our strong balance sheet and continued momentum, we are well-positioned for the future.”

Speaking on the growth outlook for the DTH sector, Mr. Anil Khera, CEO of Videocon d2h, said “The Pay TV segment in India is positioned for extraordinary growth over the next few years with millions of new TV homes being created on account of strong economic outlook in India as well as the Government of India’s initiative to roll out its digitalization mandate across the country. We believe that 90-100 million homes will be making the switch to digital platforms which will be available to the DTH and digital cable operators. We are well positioned to benefit from this and we believe we will take the largest share of this opportunity, as we have in the past. With strong economic growth outlook for India, overall media sector is expected to grow in the years to come. We believe, this will help grow ARPU, TV penetration and increase HD uptake leading to stronger revenue growth for Pay TV in general and Videocon d2h in particular.”

3  Source: MPA 2014 and company data


The Company continues to be the fastest growing Pay TV operator in India, with roughly 20% of the DTH net subscriber market share as on March 2015 up from nine percent four years ago. Last year the Company continued to lead the market in gross subscriber additions as well as incremental net subscribers for the fourth consecutive year.

The Company is also seeing a pick-up in its High-definition (“HD”) subscriber base. In Fiscal 2015, almost 30% of incremental net subscribers opted for the HD service. The Company’s HD subscribers base now represent almost 10% of the total net subscriber base, up from 5% in Fiscal 2014. The Company expects HD penetration to increase in the coming fiscal year, with an attendant impact on ARPU.

The Company believes it maintains its competitive advantage for several reasons, including:

 

  Latest technology enjoyed by all subscribers (MPEG4 DVB S2), more compression and bandwidth advantage, and thus more channels and HD offerings;

 

  Largest distribution network with over 150,000 retail outlets across India serving new customers and convenient recharges;

 

  Strong focus on customer service; being the only operator in India with an exclusive service network, approximately 97% of the Company’s new subscribers get set top boxes installed on the same day; and

 

  Unique control of box supply chain and R&D with development of local manufacturing capabilities

The Company achieved strong subscription revenue and revenue from operations growth of 38.3% and 32.5%, respectively, year on year to LOGO 20.58 billion in fiscal 2015 as compared to LOGO 14.87 billion in Fiscal 2014 and LOGO 23.38 billion in Fiscal 2015 as compared to LOGO 17.64 billion in Fiscal 2014, primarily due to increased net subscribers and ARPU growth.

The Company achieved Adjusted EBITDA of LOGO 6.09 billion for Fiscal 2015 against LOGO 3.92 billion for Fiscal 2014, a growth of 55.3%. This Adjusted EBITDA is before accounting for LOGO 135.17 million in one off security issue expenses and ESOP impact in Q4 of Fiscal 2015.

Adjusted EBITDA margin expanded 390 basis points to 26.1%, despite increase in content costs as a percentage of revenue in the second half of the fiscal year as the Company began operating under new content agreements. These new agreements provide predictability on content costs over the next 3-4 years, with better operating leverage and improved margins as subscriber base and ARPU and revenue increase over time.

Net loss for the year came in at LOGO 2.73 billion, a 14.7% improvement over the prior year.

Videocon d2h was able to push through an inflation linked APRU increase in February 2015. As a result, Q4 Fiscal 2015 ARPU was LOGO 202, 11.7% increase over Fiscal 2014.

NASDAQ IPO

The Company completed a listing of its American Depositary Shares on NASDAQ on April 1, 2015 under the ticker VDTH, in a business combination transaction with Silver Eagle Acquisition Corp. (OTC: EAGL). To commemorate this momentous event, Company management rang the opening bell at the NASDAQ market site.

Capital Structure and Balance Sheet

The Company has 393 million equity shares outstanding which is equivalent to 98.25 million American Depository Shares after closing of the business combination with Silver Eagle Acquisition Corp. We received US$ 273 million in net proceeds after payment of transaction expenses and have repaid gross debt of approximately US$100 million. The remaining proceeds shall be utilized for additional debt repayments and business expansion. The gross debt of the Company was LOGO 25.9 billion and cash and bank balance (including restricted cash) was approximately LOGO 13.0 billion in Fiscal 2015.


Corporate Governance

Following the NASDAQ listing, Harry Sloan and Jeff Sagansky are awaiting the regulatory approvals/clearance to join the board of directors of Videocon d2h. In the coming months, we expect the Dhoot family to have only one out of the eight board seats. The Company has established corporate governance practices and policies, including those pertaining to related party transactions, intends to follow NASDAQ, Indian and other international best practices.

1  Adjusted EBITDA is calculated after oneoff Securities issue expenses and impact of ESOP Plan 2014.


EBITDA presented in this statement is a supplemental measure of performance and liquidity that is not required by or represented in accordance with the IFRS. Furthermore, EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance or liquidity under IFRS and should not be considered as an alternative to profit after tax, operating income or other income or any other performance measures derived in accordance with the IFRS or as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities or as a measure of liquidity. In addition, EBITDA is not a standardized term, hence direct comparison between companies using the same term may not be possible. Other companies may calculate EBITDA differently from Videocon d2h, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures. Company believes that EBITDA helps identify underlying trends in its business that could otherwise be distorted by the effect of the expenses that are excluded for calculating EBITDA. Company believes that EBITDA enhances the overall understanding of its past performance and future prospects and allows for greater visibility with respect to key metrics used by its management in its financial and operational decision making.
