    Tamil movies shineEros International reported its numbers, which were better than ourexpectations. The topline came in at | 369.3 crore against our estimate of| 338.7 crore, driven by theatrical revenues from movies like Thuppakki(Tamil), Maataran (Tamil), Son of Sardaar and Khiladi 786. With thisquarter, the company has reported 16.1% topline growth for 9MFY13,though in Q3FY13 the company reported a 9.6% decline. EBITDA marginsalso came in well above our estimates of 19.6% to 24.5% due to betterthan expected topline. EBITDA for the quarter stood at | 90.6 crore. PATfor the quarter declined 5.6% YoY to | 65.2 crore. On a 9M basis, PATregistered growth of 3.9%. With a better than expected quarter, wecontinue to remain bullish on the relatively de risked business model ofEros supported by growing theatrical and TV syndication revenues. Thecompany has another big starrer movie (Go Goa Gone) set to release inQ4FY13 while Kochadaiyaan the Rajinikanth starrer movie has beenpostponed to Q1FY14. We have, thus, revised our FY13 estimatesdownwards while maintaining our FY14 estimates. We have valued thestock at 12x FY14E EPS to arrive at a target price of | 267. Maintain BUY.Tamil Movies steal the showAmong Hindi movies, while Son of Sardaar performed well with a net

    worldwide collection of | 108.5 crore, Khiladi 786was average with net

    worldwide collection of | 77 crore. English Vinglish, made on a small

    budget, collected | 67.5 crore worldwide, which was praiseworthy.

    However, Tamil movies stole the show in this quarter, with Thuppakkiand

    Maataranreporting domestic net box office collection of | 180 crore and

    | 90 crore, respectively.

    Maintain BUYFor the first time since listing, the company has declared a dividend of| 1.5/share. We believe the dynamics of the film industry are changing

    positively and a re-rating of the stock is on the cards. We continue to

    value the stock at 12x FY14E EPS to arrive at a target price of | 267. We

    maintain BUY.Exhibit 1:Valuation Metrics(| Crore) Q3FY13 Q3FY13E Q3FY12 Q2FY13 QoQ (Chg %) YoY (Chg %)

    Outlook & valuation

    The numbers for the quarter were better than our expectations due to the

    exceptional performance of Tamil movies. However, Kochadaiyaan a

    Rajinikanth starrer Tamil movie, which was previously slated for release in

    Q4FY13, has been postponed to Q1FY14. Thus, we have revised our EPS

    estimate for FY13 from | 19.8 to | 16.6. We have not revised our FY14estimates though.

    The management indicated that the subscription channels HBO Hits and

    HBO Defined as per the deal with HBO would be launched by FY13

    through a couple of DTH players. By FY14, the channels are expected to

    be launched across all he DTH players with a few players from digital

    cable as well.

    Eros has signed a deal with Endemol wherein the company would co

    produce three movies with Endemol India, which are expected to release

    in FY15. Also, Endemol owns IP to popular content on television like Big

    Boss, Fear Factor, etc. With Eros IP ownership of ~ 1000 movies, the deal

    would provide an opportunity to monetise TV content on the big screen

    and vice versa a model seen in Hollywood with movies like Transporter

    and Star Trek being shown as a television series while TV shows like 24

    and Sex and the Citywere made into a movie.

    During the quarter, the promoters of the company had come out with an

    open offer to offload 2.8% of their stake to adhere to Sebi guidelines of

    minimum 25% public shareholding. At a floor price of | 200, the issue

    was subscribed 4.4x.

    The company declared a dividend in this quarter for the first time since its

    listing in 2010. The dividend was of | 1.5/share.

    We believe the dynamics of the film industry are changing positively and

    a re-rating of the stock is on the cards, especially considering that it is

    trading at a significant discount to other media businesses. We continue

    to value the stock at 12x FY14E EPS to arrive at a target price of | 267. We

    maintain BUY.Exhibit 5:Valuation
