5 April 2017
RIL’s share price has risen over 25% since its CMD's announcement about Jio's monetisation effective April 2017. The launch of its Rs 303 monthly subscriber plan eased fears of margin‐destructive price wars. RIL indicated 72mn subscriber conversions to Jio Prime (versus 100mn under previous free offers) by the end of March and has offered three months of free services on recharges of Rs 303 and above before 15 April, thereby aiming to lock users at a higher tariff bracket. It said it would push for 50% RMS in a Rs 3trn market (in 3‐4 years) along with a strong 50% EBITDA margin. We believe the Indian telecom sector is heading towards major consolidation, and that in the next 5‐10 years, it will be a four‐player market, enhancing pricing power/ARPU, data usage, and incumbents’ earnings. We build a conservative Rs 180 ARPU for Jio in FY18 on a 90mn average subscriber base, but expect it to touch Rs 270+/300mn+ by FY25, implying revenue/EBITDA/margin of Rs 1tn/460bn/45%. While we will wait for execution, competitor action, and ARPU/costing data to reassess our estimates, for now, we value Jio at 8x FY25 EBITDA, discounted to FY18‐end, and raise our target EV to Rs 2.2tn from Rs 1tn based on 0.5x IC. Hence, we raise our target to Rs 1,650 from Rs 1,190 and reiterate Buy. Jio’s launch was a success with 72mn effective users and attractive but disciplined pricing There is little doubt now that Reliance Jio’s launch is a roaring success. It has redefined the Indian telecom landscape, both in terms of technology and product. A 100mn subscriber base with an effective conversion of 72mn to paid services (at the end of March 2017) was ahead of expectations. Jio Prime's plans offer a simplified tariff structure with no hidden charges, which make them attractive, aiding conversion and dependency. The plans also eased fears of margin‐destructive price wars; they exhibit significant discipline towards protecting and improving pricing power. RIL sets steep targets for Jio – aggressive strategy in place Jio is clearly in for the long haul. In a recent analyst meet, it laid out a comprehensive strategy. Its key targets were 50% RMS and 50% EBIDTA margin. Some salient points of its strategy: (1) Reducing the voice market, thereby pushing data usage. (2) given the right pricing, the Indian data market will expand and become around 500‐600 GB per month in the next 3‐4 years. Assuming a pricing of Rs 50/GB, the market size will be around Rs 3‐3.5trn annually. (3) With its strong capacity and investment plan, Jio will target 50% RMS; higher ARPU and scale would result in EBITDA margin of ~50%. Our assumptions are conservative, but Jio will create value Execution and network stability will be key; maintenance of high data speed, voice quality, and attractive offerings can boost usage and subscribers' preference for Jio. For now, we take a more conservative stance – Rs 180 blended ARPU in FY18 on a 90mn average subscriber base. Based on our primary thesis of industry consolidation to a four‐player market, we expect this to touch Rs 270+/300mn+ by FY25, implying revenue/EBITDA/margin of Rs 1tn/460bn/45% for Jio. Although much lower than RIL's targets, our estimates imply an EV of Rs 2.2tn for Jio, which is an equity value of almost Rs 1tn. Maintain Buy with a revised target of Rs 1,650 We value Jio at 8x FY25 EBITDA, discounted to FY18 end, and raise our SOTP‐based target for RIL to Rs 1,650 (from Rs 1,190) with telecom valuation of Rs 2.2tn EV vs. Rs 1tn earlier. While we keep RIL's EBITDA largely unchanged for FY17/18/19, due to lower IndAS‐based depreciation in FY17 and higher other income, we raise our EPS by 4%/14%/38%. Reiterate Buy.

Reliance Jio launch a big success There is little doubt now that Reliance Jio’s launch of services was a roaring success. It has redefined the Indian telecom landscape from both a technological and product standpoint. Reliance Jio has forced incumbents to adopt a new paradigm – one defined by capacity creation and an ARPU‐based model on ‘value delivered’. Jio's sector redefining steps
Source: Company Its recent announcement of 72mn customers signing up for Jio’s Prime membership plan by 31st March 2017 was clearly ahead of expectations. However, it has further extended the deadline by 15 days coupled with free complimentary services for another three months if customers recharge with Rs 303 and above plans. While this may seem as a mixed response to the monetisation capability, we see it as a push to keep customers hooked to high usage patterns and settle for plans that are above Rs 303. We believe Reliance Jio has locked‐in 4‐5% revenue market share (RMS) presently, which will grow over the next 12 months. Revenue market share outlook of major players

With its launch’s huge success, we believe Jio will be able to end the year at an exit RMS of around 11‐12%. While the bigger question is still whether it has managed to grow the market, we will wait for forthcoming quarter numbers for more visibility on the growth of both usage and monetisation; Q4FY17 results of incumbents will also provide early signs on market growth.

Reliance Jio's game plan Jio is clearly in for the long haul. Its efforts indicate no short cuts. In a recent analyst meet, Jio laid out its comprehensive game plan with a key target being 50% RMS and 50% EBIDTA margin. While achieving such high market share in a highly contested market is a rather arduous challenge, Jio has a definite strategy in place to achieve this. The three key aspects of its strategy are: 1. Reduce the voice market: Jio has one of the best ALL IP network in the world with unparallel 4G capacity. While the Idea‐Vodafone merged entity boasts of higher network capacity, going by the current state of affairs, Jio has significant 4G capacity. With an ALL IP network and no capacity constraints, the strategy is clearly to utilise capacity. Even voice on Jio’s network is completely through packets (circuit switched on 2G and 3G), so from a network perspective there is no distinction between voice and data for Jio. So, technically, it can offer unlimited voice, as bandwidth consumed is not very significant though on termination to other networks there is significant cost involved as most other voice networks are circuit switched with limited capacity. As Jio continues to offer voice free on its network more and more devices become VOLTe compliant, other competitors will be forced to switch to IP networks even for voice. This transition, despite being tricky, is possible considering Jio's aggressive plans. With decline/stagnation of voice revenues of other operators Jio can grow its revenue base as its value proposition will continue to remain superior. 2. Indian data market will grow to Rs 3‐3.5trn: According to Jio, the Indian data market will be around 5‐6bn GB per month, and assuming a pricing of Rs 50/GB, the market size would be around Rs 3‐3.5tn per year by 2021‐22. The industry growth will be rapid because of data explosion. Jio’s expectations are quite contrary to the market, which was anticipated to become more sluggish due to a decline in pricing and hyper competition. Jio believes that the market is supply‐constrained and growth will take place if value is offered at the right price point. Change in Indian telecom sector's pattern
Source: Company The most interesting metric that Jio believes in is – India has 400mn subscribers capable of paying Rs 500 ARPU per month. The existing ARPU is significantly less than Rs 150/month. While the metric is very interesting, the challenge will be to monetise the product offering. Nevertheless, it seems possible as the industry consolidates to a four‐players market.

Data explosion expected as customer's ability to pay is high
Source: Company 3. Jio can supply 50% of the market and achieve EBIDTA margins of 50% Jio contends that it can supply 50% of the projected data market by 2021‐22. It is expected to invest over Rs 500bn over the next three years to augment capacity. The company would have significant capacity on its data network, and as the industry transitions to IP networks from traditional voice, the scope for EBIDTA improvement would increase with a rise in spectrum utilisation and decline in variable costs.
Great start, but execution is crucial in a competitive market Well‐established incumbents have solid experience in fighting price wars and are unlikely to cede their market share easily. Hence, Jio's goal of 50% RMS is challenging. RIL's telecom business outlook improved significantly after CMD Mr Ambani's February announcement primarily due to these three reasons: 1) A subscriber base of 100mn and recent announcement of 72mn – indicating a
strong footing 2) Rs 303 monthly plan (Rs 250+ implied ARPU) allaying fears of margin destructive
price wars 3) A simplified tariff plan with no hidden charges, indicating attractiveness and
healthy conversion to paid services On a 72mn user base, which is quite healthy, Jio's immediate focus is to put these subscribers on a higher tariff plan (Rs 303 and above). As we noted earlier, the extension of Jio Prime’s deadline by 15 days and three months free service for Rs 303 and above recharges could be because its 72mn subscriber base is mostly buying the Rs 149 plan or just making do with the Rs 99 conversion recharge. While this move may seem worrying (after initial monetisation and being ARPU dilutive), if it is successful, it can put Jio on a formidable position. Execution will be a key, and network stability, maintenance of high data speed, voice quality, and attractive offerings can boost usage and subscriber's preference towards Jio, especially in the case of dual sims.

We will reassess our assumptions based on execution, experience, and monetisation of Jio in forthcoming quarters. For FY18, we build a blended ARPU of Rs 180, as we await conversion statistics among lower income groups to Prime (these may primarily stick to calls, which Jio is offering for free). We assume an average subscriber base of ~90mn, based on which we estimate revenue close to Rs 200bn in FY18. Our cost estimates imply an EBITDA margin of 10% in FY18, which is commendable in the first year of operation, implying an EBITDA of almost Rs 20bn.

Source: Company, PhillipCapital India Research Jio's growth going forward will be strong. We expect its ARPU to rise to Rs 270+ by FY25 as the telecom industry consolidates to four players (Jio, Vodafone‐Idea, Airtel, and BSNL/MTNL), improving pricing power and data usage (300mn+ subscribers for Jio), thereby pushing earnings. Higher ARPU would also aid in EBITDA margin expansion – we estimate these to reach almost 45% by FY25. We expect Jio to save on network sites (aided by the RCOM deal), low SAC, and lower bundled service costs due to bulk offerings. We have assumed 14‐paise inter‐connection charges, which could be reduced to zero, thereby lowering industry cost.
