Thank you, Anuj, and good afternoon, everyone, and welcome to our earnings call for the fourth quarter and the financial year ended to 2023. Let me first start by giving some of the key financial highlights, after which our CEO, Mr. Hiren Gada, will give you some of the operational highlights. For Q4 FY '23, the revenue from operations stood at INR 165 crores, which would make a growth of around 76% on Y-o-Y basis. EBITDA for the quarter was INR 17 crores, which has jumped by around 94% year-on-year basis. EBITDA margin stood at approximately 10% and profit was reported at approximately INR 5 crores, which grew by around 137% Y-o-Y basis. For the financial year ended 2023, revenue from operations stood at INR 557 crores, representing a growth of around [ 36% ] Y-o-Y basis. EBITDA stood at INR 47 crores, which was up by around 32% Y-o-Y basis. EBITDA margin stood at approximately 8.5%, while net profit was INR 9.5 crores, which grew by 78% Y-o-Y basis. With regard to new initiatives in Q4, the expenses amounted to 1 year, while for the year ended, it was INR 54 crores. And if you adjust this investment, the adjusted EBITDA from operations in Q4 and Q3 would have been approximately INR 18 crores and INR 101 crores, respectively. Let me now take you through the Traditional Media and Digital Media division highlights. Digital Media revenues for the fourth quarter stood at INR 53 crores, which grew by around 15% Y-o-Y, while for the financial year ended, it was INR 224 crores, witnessing a growth of around 23% Y-o-Y. Traditional Media revenues for the fourth quarter stood at around INR 111 crores, which grew by around 136% Y-o-Y, while for the financial year, it stood at -- sorry, INR 333 crores, witnessing a growth of roughly 67% Y-o-Y. Now I would request our CEO, Mr. Hiren Gada, to brief you on the operational highlights for the period under review.

Thank you, Amit, and good afternoon, everyone. In Q4 FY '23, the company delivered a strong revenue growth along with positive margins on the back of a moderate increase in ad spend in the industry and also due to a lower base effect compared to the same quarter last year. In line with our strategic shift over the last few years of moving from a pure B2B company towards B2B2C and B2C, I'm happy to inform you that the contribution of B2C revenues as a percentage of total revenue has doubled in FY '23 versus FY '22 and now tend to contribute around 1/3 of the overall revenue. On the other update, ShemarooMe Gujarati had quite an eventful quarter, where we released around 14 new titles with content across movies, series and plays, including original web series, Goti Soda Season 3, which was well received by the audiences. And digital world premiere of movies, Hey Kem Cho London, Hun Iqbal and Hoon Tari Heer. The subscription-based platform was also launched in Batelco, Zain & STC in Bahrain as well. Our portfolio of YouTube channels has continued to perform extremely well with Shemaroo FilmiGaane being 21st most subscribed channel in the world with over 64 million subscribers. We launched full movie streaming service, Southplex with du in UAE & VDO Box with Jawwal in Palestine as well. In the broadcasting segment, both ShemarooTV and Shemaroo Umang have been consistently among the top 5 free-to-air general entertainment channel. Shemaroo GEC channels now have a viewership share of over 9% in the overall Hindi GEC genre today. Ratings of Shemaroo MarathiBana remained steady during the last quarter. Lastly, we also expanded our DTH portfolio as well with the launch of a new DTH service, Telugu Classics with classic movies, TV shows, biographies and songs on Tata Play in April '23. In conclusion, considering the external economic scenario, I'm very proud and pleased with our overall performance in this financial year. We started on this journey of strategically changing the business strategy in 2019 and against all odds and against all headwinds that we have faced. Over the last few years, we have overcome many of these challenges without over-leveraging our balance sheet and successfully meeting our strategic goal of transforming or being on that part. And now we are extremely confident now more so than ever that the agility, strength and innovative business model, along with a very strong professionally run organization with freshly inducted talent from the media industry that we have built over the years, we will see the company's financial performance significantly outperforming in the coming years. However, as a result of external factors such as inflation, looming global recession, dampened consumer demand and slowdown of funding for new-age advertisers, this coupled with continued investment in our B2C initiatives, we are keeping a cautious was on balancing our growth as well as profitability aspirations in the coming quarters as margins could face some pressure. With that, I open the floor for question-and-answer session.

We will now begin the question-and-answer session. [Operator Instructions] Our first question is from the line of Rahul Jain from Credence Wealth.

Hiren bhai, congratulations for the turnaround and for the healthy numbers. So a couple of questions from my side. One is, sir, with regards to new initiatives in this quarter, it is at the lowest and just about -- around INR 1 crore. So going ahead and for the full year, the figure stands now at INR 54 crores compared to roughly INR 67 crores in the previous year. So how do we look at some new initiatives spend going ahead in this current year?

So we have -- we continue to invest in the broadcast venture with more channel launch plan. And ShemarooMe is the other new initiative that is where the investment is going. And considering the overall scale that now we have achieved and the way forward on both these businesses, we are budgeting an investment of approximately INR 75 crores for the next financial year. And if you recall last year also, last financial year, I had indicated that a lot of it would be front ended and we don't anticipate, I mean, which in a way has played out in a similar way. Of course, we had a slight challenge in Q3 due to the external environment of revenue versus operation. But yes, this year, we expect it to be this much, and I believe that we -- the operations are adequately geared to fully fund the investments as we have been doing in the last few years.

Sure. Am I missing something? Because generally, what we've been doing is every quarter of the last few years, when the new initiative expenses have been incurred. And you have been transparently giving the new initiative number. So if I exclude the new initiative in the current quarter, maybe I may be going wrong in trying to do on a quarterly analysis. But what I find is adjusted for this, the operating margin for the current quarter is just about 10%, 11%. And in fact, for the full year also compared to 25%, 27% margins in last year, the operating margins existed for the new initiative comes to around 18%. So how do we look at this, sir?

See, on margin front, what I -- there are 2 things I would like to put on the margin front. One is that as the TV and broadcasting business revenue growth, the margin profile will kind of map more towards broadcaster margin profile, which is a relatively lower margin profile than what we may have had earlier. But of course, a far more capital-efficient business model. Secondly, yes, the -- some of the channels would be probably at a low breakeven or a low positive kind of a thing. So therefore, if you add to that, we are not -- while they are not seeking additional investment, but still the operating leverage on those channels have not yet kicked in.

Okay. So the margins could be higher as we move forward as the operating leverage gets in for even the broadcasting business? Or what could be the basic difference between the business, if you can share those margins?

Sorry, I missed the question.

So what we are trying to say that as the broadcasting business revenues go up, you will see an operating leverage. And probably in this quarter, there is a higher broadcasting business perspective, which is affecting the margin adjusted for new initiative bonds.

So there is -- so what you are saying, directionally that's how it should be, but there are 2 factors here, which is linked to new investments. So one is new investment in existing channels in terms of new shows being launched. So this I have explained earlier also, that with every mutual launch, there is a new higher equilibrium that we kind of try and achieve at the next level. But in the -- there is a gestation period between that mutual launch and translation into revenue normally. So we still -- will continue launching new shows. In fact, last month also we have launched 1 new show on Shemaroo Umang called Sharvani. And this -- so this is 1 aspect of that, which we expect because of that. And second is that there will be more channel launches also as we go ahead, but it will be -- and what happens again in a new channel launch -- by the time we start monetization, it's at least 3, 4 months into the launch. So there is an expense, but the relevant cost is not -- sorry, the revenue is not yet kicks in -- so these are 2 factors. And of course, in the short term, we are seeing this whole economic headwind also which is affecting. And that, again, as we had shared last quarter also that the situation has not significantly improved from that. It's definitely been better than what it was in that Q3. But still where the operational business is versus where the revenue translation is, the external environment is definitely impacting that revenue translation. So that also is tempering the margin to that extent.

Sure. And just a question on the balance sheet items with regards to both inventories and receivables. So we had mentioned in the previous quarter con call last quarter, our inventories should peak out somewhere around INR 700 crores. We have ended this current year with INR 735 crores and receivables seems to be a bit on the higher side at about INR 125 crores. So how do we see this -- both these numbers going ahead, sir?

While -- if you -- so there are 2, 3 ways to look at this. I mean, so inventory days has come down significantly, thanks to the growth in -- the overall growth in the business that we have achieved. So we almost halved the inventory days. So that is what, more importantly, we don't expect the inventory to go up. In fact, we expect this year, the inventory should net -- this is near peak, and we are anticipating a fall in inventory or lowering of inventory going forward in next 2, 3 years, which is near about the peak. So I maintain what we had shared last time. Receivables also -- broadcast business has a 90-day receivable cycle. And that has definitely impacted -- so overall, if you see year-to-year, the receivables have actually gone up by INR 70 crores for the entire company. But thankfully, it's the overall growth. So the number of days has actually gone up only marginally from 53 to 60. So it is linked to the growth in turnover.

But do we see the inventory going down aggressively in the next 3, 4 quarters? Are we trying to work on that on an aggressive way?

Yes. So we are working on a steady reduction of the inventory. And I expect quarter-on-quarter picture is very difficult to say. But if we look at it on an annual basis, I think we should be reasonably lower on the number.

Sure. And just a last one, if I could squeeze in, with regards to new channels. If you could share some more details in terms of new channel, which is in the current year. This Shemaroo Chumbak, which has been launched for kids. So is this -- if you could share some more details on this?

Well, it is still you can say in a test mode in terms of test signals and distribution and all of that. So we still haven't had a full-fledged launch of the channel. But yes, we launched the test signals in April. And now we are in the process of launching this channel. And based on how the year goes, we look forward to probably adding at least 1 more channel to the bouquet.

So 1 more channel over and above this kids channel in the current year. Is that what you're saying?

Yes, yes.

Our next question is from the line of [ Mayank Babla ] from Enam AMC.

Am I audible?

Yes. Can you be a little louder, a little...

Is this better?

Yes, it's better.

Sir, my question was around INR 75 crore investment you're seeing in the new initiative. So how will this be funded? I mean, from internal accruals? Or what is the strategy?

Internal accruals, entirely internal accruals. In fact, if you see over the last 4 years of this change in the business model, we've invested about close to INR 175 crores. And out of that, more than 80% of it has been funded through internal accruals. And in fact, this year, we anticipate 100% of that to be invested -- to be funded from internal accruals.

All right. And my second question is around the free cash flow. What will be the free cash flow for the current quarter?

For the current quarter?

Yes, for Q4. Yes.

Amit doesn't have it handy here. I think we can take it offline.

Yes, we can take it offline.

[Operator Instructions] Our next question is from the line of Viraj Mehta from Equirus PMS.

Hiren bhai, congratulations. Hiren bhai, a couple of questions. You had mentioned that Q4 debt of INR 300-odd crores will be peak debt in light of slightly soft environment and the new investments, which are higher than what probably were and which are earlier. Do you still stand by that, that this will be our fee debt and our debt will only go down from here?

I think we could be probably 1 quarter here or there. So maybe Q1, what we have that maybe the peak debt. But I don't see now debt going up from these levels. In fact, this year, actually, we have targeted a lowering repayment of the debt. So we definitely intend to close the financial year with a lowering of the debt.

So you share what will be that number? Will that be INR 30 crores, INR 40 crores, INR 50 crores or lower?

We are -- well, I mean, it's very difficult for me to put it. But, yes, it should be in the range of what numbers you are saying.

Right. And just trying to understand the revenue trajectory. We are like at INR 165 crore quarterly revenue in a quarter, which is not even our peak quarter. So we did not have a Diwali season or something. It is just on back of broadcasting channels ramping up and we getting our share. Basically, viewership converting into the share of advertisement in Q4. So would you say that this is -- would it be fair to say that this is nonpeak season quarter, which can only grow from here quarter-on-quarter over next 4 quarters as obviously, we launched new channels over a period of next 4 quarters?

Arghya will take the...

Viraj, this is Arghya here. I'll just take this question. I mean, are you -- I mean, just help me clarify, are you saying that this is a -- I mean a smaller quarter comparatively on a -- from this annual quarter basis...

Yes. So generally, what we have seen is that Shemaroo already has Q3, which is the biggest revenue. And Q4 generally is lower than in Q3. But this year, that has not been the case because, obviously, I think your realization in both Umang and ShemarooTV has gone up, which has kind of contributed to you doing better -- is this then sustainable basis, is this number and we can only grow from here on quarter-on-quarter basis going forward?

Let me -- got it. So one is, you are right. I think -- there are 2 parts to it. I mean, broadcast, yes. I mean, broadcast is ramping up, right? So in Q3, during festive time, Umang had just come up 2, 3 months, 3, 4 months before that. So it is -- so as the channels ramp up, your GRPs keep growing up and hence, your ability to monetize and your pricing for GRP that we can get is obviously higher. And hence, that is obviously ramping up. So that is 1 part of it. In this quarter, is higher than that. But also remember that we have a lot of syndication business also, right? So that syndication business can also be lumpy. It is not unlike broadcast, which is steady state. It keep growing business, seasonality and so on and so forth. We have a syndication business, which is our -- which is our old B2B business. That has lumpiness in it. So there were also reasonable good deals which happened in this quarter, which has also contributed. And they are not small amount. So while, yes, you're right from the traditional the steady-state B2C businesses, this business revenue side will keep growing up only. You are right. But at a quarter level, it also depends on what kind of syndication will happen. Because that can either be a kicker or it can bring down the overall numbers depending on -- in what quarter a deal is getting signed an enclosed because that is not consistent month-on-month seasonal and all that. It depends on when deals gets done. So that angle is also there.

I would add 1 more part to that, Viraj, is that given now this overall change in the model, we are -- and this is to be tested, we only know probably in FY '24 more whether it holds true or not. But we are -- we feel that the sharp seasonality that we were probably seeing earlier may come off a little bit and the normalization of the revenue trending maybe happening more also. But yes, you are right that the B2C part, there is a certain steadiness to that revenue.

Sure. And in terms of ShemarooMe, and that's my last question, you had mentioned that our whole target market [indiscernible] around 20 lakh -- 25 lakh kind of subscription that we want to achieve. Are we on track to -- I mean, is -- are we seeing that kind of traction with so much new...

The addressable market is -- we are, of course -- this is still a journey. And this is the addressable market. We don't know how much of that would actually convert and -- a, convert; and b, how much of that we would be able to capture. But I would say that on overall metrics, ShemarooMe has been on a fairly healthy state of affairs in general. Obviously, due to competitive reasons, we are not in a position still to share more details. But definitely, we've taken a pole position in the Gujarati market without a doubt. And we have a very exciting lineup of content coming up over the next 3, 4 months, which I think should help consolidate further the leadership position that we have already made.

Great. And just 1 last thing. Are all the 3 channels on standalone basis breakeven or MarathiBana is still not breakeven?

I would refrain from commenting on that because it's ultimately a bouquet of portfolio that you...

Viraj, I mean, in the broadcast -- having been in a larger organization before. So I think it is always a bouquet, which works. I mean, there's been no -- there's obviously some ups and downs because you are -- that's how you are targeting. That's how there will be some, which you've got [indiscernible] and all that. But as a bouquet, we are looking towards making the entire piece profitable. I mean in a stand-alone basis, as Hiren says, it will be difficult to comment.

Our next question is from the line of Dhwanil Desai from Turtle Capital.

For the first question, so if I look at our trajectory on the money spent on new initiatives, I think as somebody was mentioning, it's INR 57 crores this year, we are at INR 54 crore. And if I remember earlier conversations, we already indicated that we will invest in new initiatives, but the trajectory will go down. Now this year, we are planning to do INR 75 crores. So has anything changed in terms of whether we are getting more aggressive in terms of new launches than what we earlier envisaged? Or is that the macroeconomic thing because of which the revenue projections that we were thinking earlier for FY '24 has come down. Which one of them has contributed to this larger one that we are envisaging in FY '24?

So definitely, it is first one. I mean, we see more opportunities on the broadcast side and on ShemarooMe side. And we feel that having created the platform and having gone through the whole initial phase and everything, I think it's only fair that we continue to aggressively press the pedal on that because it will ultimately -- I think it's a combination of creating a strategically important pole position in the business as well as helping create scale.

Okay. Okay. So essentially, Hiren bhai, my question was that so we -- so I think our goal, also in one of the interviews mentioned that FY '24 on broadcasting business, we wanted to be profitable. And I assume that, that goal remains, barring, of course, the new channel launching that you do in FY '24. So does it mean that the 2 new channels, plus Shemaroo, will all put together contribute to kind of a number?

Yes, and so when, as I said earlier also and this last couple of quarters we have discussed also, is that where we can, we would be breakeven plus or whatever. But we will keep ramping up the programming investment on -- even on the existing channels. So when we talk of the investment, it includes additional programming for the existing channels, plus new channels on TV side. And then, of course, ShemarooMe's trajectory. That's really what this additional investment is all about.

Okay. Got it. The second question is you mentioned that we have now 9% share in the GEC market, right? So -- and in all our conversations, [indiscernible] the size that we're talking about is INR 8,000, INR 9,000 crores, including MarathiBana. So our right pool share impact by around INR 700 crores, INR 800 crores even if you mark down [indiscernible]

Dhwanil, [indiscernible]

Okay. So I wanted to understand how does that work in terms of revenue translation.

Yes. So I think first, this is -- remember that this is viewership share, okay? Viewership share does not correspond to a straight line conversion into value share. This is -- and secondly, this 9% viewership share [indiscernible] that does not include Shemaroo, MarathiBana and not the Marathi space. This is the Hindi GEC market. GEC market has both pay and free. So everything put together, we have had a 9% viewership share in the quarter, quarter 4, right? That does not -- that will never transfer into 9% value share because the same market, the pay TV is largely in urban, where the GRPs are significantly more expensive. So what advertisers pay for urban GRPs are far, far higher than what they pay for rural and urban [indiscernible]. So hence, it was not a great conversion from volume to that. What we have quoted 9% is the viewership share, which is the volume.

Got it. Got it. And so, Arghya, in terms of -- so let's say, if you want to maintain or increase our market share in terms of our content strategy, what are we doing to kind of, let's say, moving from 9% to 11%, 12%? And also tying in with that, my observation is that most of the new launch, new show launches have been on the Umang. And Shemaroo, the new launch slate has been relatively lighter. So is there any strategic angle to this [indiscernible]? .

I think that's a fair question. our objective is to keep on increasing our viewership share and in both channels. So yes, you are right. Our show launches have been largely around the Shemaroo Umang, which is a more female-oriented channel. And that's our show launches have been and that in the last, whatever the last 3 shows that we are talking about, last 4 shows, actually has been all launched on Umang. Having said that, so 2 parts to your question. How do we increase viewership share? We keep increasing our original content contribution. So the more original content that we keep pumping in with the right content, with the right consumer insight and reaching out to the right audiences, we hope to increase also. Our viewership share will keep increasing with our increasing slate of original content in both the channels. And you are right, we have not had too many launches in the -- in Shemaroo TV. But that you will see it get corrected. I think in the next 3 to 4 months, we should see a few launches in Shemaroo TV also. Shemaroo TV, as you know, has a slightly different flavor from Shemaroo Umang. It is more a micro -- crime channel, which targets the male audience mostly. And we have not had new launches there. But that is going to get -- you would -- that going to get addressed in the coming quarters of the year.

Having said that, our first 2 regional launches were on Shemaroo TV only. It was then that we focused on the Umang opportunity because there, there's a certain audience profile mix that we are targeting.

Sorry to interrupt. Mr. Dhwanil Desai, may we request that you return to the question queue for follow-up questions as there are several participants waiting for their turn. Thank you. [Operator Instructions] Our next question is from the line of Harshil Solanki from Equitree Capital.

I had 2 questions. First is how many as of original content have we achieved? It was to max at 4, 4.5 hours. So there are -- and are you expecting that to peak out?

Right now, we are at about 3.5 hours.

Correct. So -- between the 2 channels.

Between the 2 channels.

So I think -- so, Harshil, it's a question of -- so 1 is when will we have 4.5 hours of content? I assume you are meaning between those 2 channels or standalone free channel, I don't know. I think as the year progresses, we should be at least having close to 4 to 4.5 hours of original content and both the channels put together. But remember, original shows also mean replacement of the current shows. It is also not that all the shows will continue for the whole year and we'll keep adding. So there's also a replacement churn -- keeping the content fresh and alive. So by the end of the next 2 to 3 quarters, we should be at least in the range of 4.5 to 5 hours of original content between the 2 channels put together. I am not including Shemaroo MarathiBana because that has its own trajectory, own separate plans.

Okay. The next question is any specific initiatives we are taking so that we can increase the monetization of our inventory. For example, we can leverage our content and offer it to production houses or like some of our competitors are doing...

See, monetization of the inventory has multiple assets with -- Harshil. One is, obviously, your [indiscernible] a function of the kind of the [indiscernible] the kind of viewership share that we have, which is also...

Sorry, I want to clarify, Harshil, is this -- you are talking of a TV channel inventory or the company's content inventory?

Content inventory.

Oh, I'm sorry, I was responding on the TV channel inventory.

Okay. So yes, I thought as well. Yes.

So yes, so I was talking about TV channel inventory. I mean, that also can be maximized. So solutions and selling branded content, branded solutions and all that, that is 1 part of it. The other part of it is something which Hiren [indiscernible].

So see, I want to just clarify [indiscernible] of the fact that what is the monetization of the inventory and whether it's happening or not or what? In the last 3 financial years, which is FY '21, '22 and '23, we have invested about INR 175-odd crores in new initiatives. Out of which, around INR 143 crores has been generated or invested out of internal accruals generation. Now the internal accrual is cash flow generated only on this inventory itself. So while we are -- while we may not have seen the, say, the P&L translation because of these new initiatives were being costed out or recognized as revenue expenses. But the fact is that this entire investment, the whole new business has been funded, 80% odd funding has come out of the inventory sales or monetization. Secondly, we are constantly looking at revenue opportunities from time to time, and I'll just give you 2 examples here to kind of give you a sense of different directionally how things are playing out. So we own perpetualized to a movie called Disco Dancer. Okay. And right now, there is a live musical -- live show going on, on Disco Dancer, which is again, licensed by us from for that purpose. So that is 1 example. Second is, say, this movie Jab We Met. So we released Jab We Met -- rereleased Jab We Met in theaters on the occasion of Valentine's Day in tie up with PVR. And it has done exceedingly well for the fact that it's been a rerelease of a 15-year-old movie. So I mean, I'm just giving you 2 references which have happened in this quarter itself. So this is on a continuous basis from time to time, we are extremely actively looking at monetizing or in different ways, trying to create revenue opportunities from our inventory.

Okay. Got it. The next question is how are the ad rates moving up with the increasing viewership shares? If you can share at least the percentage terms?

I mean, Harshil, ad rates are moving in line with the market rate. I mean, I would refrain from calling what percentage growth and all that. And I think ad rates are a function of 2 things: One is, obviously, your GRPs and our own solution in the market. Also, at the same time, it is dependent on the kind of demand in the market, right? At the end of the day, pricing is a function of how demand and supply plays out. So while, as Hiren said in is opening comment, I mean, in this quarter, quarter 4, we saw slightly moderate improved spends on the ad market and hence -- in terms of demand. And hence, we are able to monetize it better. Going forward, it will all depend on what kind of demand is there in the market. And yes, I mean, as our GRPs are increasing, we are steadily increasing our ad rates. But it's more or less in line with what the market rates are for [indiscernible].
