Jagran Prakashan: Revenue growth at the cusp of revival
Print business valued attractively at 11x FY19E EPS
Ad revenue is likely to grow at a CAGR of 10% over FY18-20 (FICCI estimates
vernacular print ad market growth of 8-9%), led by (a) revival in ad spends, (b)
better monetization of IRS data, (c) favorable base, and (d) high ad spends in
the run-up to the general elections.
Increased circulation of Naidunia and other publications coupled with yield
improvement should help garner 7% circulation revenue CAGR over FY18-20.
MBL, the radio business, should post 16% revenue CAGR and 29% EBITDA CAGR
over FY18-20, led by higher utilization and yield improvement.
We expect 10% CAGR in consolidated revenue and 17% CAGR in consolidated
EBITDA FY18-20, with the impact of GST/demonetization waning and a
favorable base.
Excluding MBL’s current value, JAGP is trading at an EV/EBITDA of 6x (FY19E),
and at 11x FY19E EPS. We value JAGP at 14x December 2019E EPS (~10%
discount to 3-year average), arriving at a TP of INR215.
