For 1QFY2013, HT Medias top-line performance was better than our expectation, growing by 10% yoy to `541cr largely driven by a 10% yoy growth in advertising revenue to `410cr. Circulation revenue also registered a strong growth of 16% yoy to `61cr, mainly driven by higher realization per copy. On the operating front, OPM expanded by 77bp yoy to 14.4%. Consequently, profit grew by 17% yoy to `47cr. Volume driven ad revenue growth: After sluggish growth in the last few quarters, advertising revenue has bounced back to double-digit growth, primarily driven by volume growth. Strong performance in the Mumbai region with 25% yoy growth in advertising revenues (driven by local advertising) and 7% yoy growth in Delhis advertising revenues led to an 8% yoy growth in English ad revenues to `277cr. Meanwhile, HT Medias Hindi print business subsidiary - HMVLs ad revenue grew by 14% yoy to `133cr on account of increase in advertising volumes. The Management has indicated at a shift in focus from volume driven to yield driven ad growth. Robust growth in digital and radio business: Revenue from the Radio segment registered a strong growth of 15% yoy to `21cr while the digital business grew by 41% yoy to `17cr (on back of strong yoy growth in shine.com, HT Campus and HT Mobile). At the EBIT level, Radio contributed `3.6cr compared to `1.5cr in 1QFY2013. However, the digital business, which continues to be in losses, reported an increase in EBIT level losses from `12cr in 1QFY2013 to `17cr for the quarter under review (due to expenses incurred on advertising campaign for shine.com). Outlook and valuation: At the current market price, HT Media is trading cheaply at 10.3x FY2015E consolidated EPS of `9.3. We maintain Buy on the stock with a target price of `117, based on 12.5x FY2015E EPS. Downside risks to our estimates include 1) a sharp rise in newsprint prices in INR terms, and 2) higher-than-expected losses/increase in the breakeven period of emerging editions and digital business.

Investment rationale
Margin pressure to ease as ad revenue picks up: HT Medias recent underperformance can be attributed to OPM pressure on account of losses in digital business and emerging markets, higher newsprint costs and cyclical nature of ad revenue growth (sluggish due to slower GDP growth). The company has undertaken measures such as cutback in excess circulation and pagination efficiency to improve its margin. The company is also divesting its entire 51% stake in HT Burda which has been making losses. The Management has also indicated at a shift in focus from volume driven to yield driven advertising growth. Going forward, we believe yield driven advertising growth and upcoming elections will aid the company to maintain double-digit advertising revenue growth and improve its margin to ~15% in FY2014.
