Revenue guidance

Category 3
  • Radio volumes are expected to increase due to upcoming elections, as historically government and political party spending rises significantly during election years, boosting advertising volumes. (Page 17)
  • Pricing for radio advertising has bottomed out with marginal increase (~1%), but prices are expected to recover to pre-COVID levels gradually over a few years, likely starting in the second half of the current year. (Pages 6, 10)
  • Volume-led growth is driving current revenue improvements; capacity utilization is at 69-70%, leaving substantial room to handle increased volumes. (Pages 12, 6)
  • Digital revenues are projected to grow steadily, with INR30 crores planned as investment for content acquisition and platform development next year, expecting a hockey-stick growth after initial traction. (Pages 12, 7)
  • Solutions business has shown strong growth (33.5%) and is expected to continue growing robustly. (Page 4)
  • Overall, revenue growth is anticipated to be volume-driven in near term, with gradual recovery in pricing and strong digital and solutions segment expansion.

Capex plans

Yes
  • The company plans to continue investing around INR 30 crores annually in the digital business, similar to last year, focusing on content acquisition and platform development (Page 12).
  • The digital investments include building the platform and app, growing the content bank (over 3,000 hours of content on Mirchi Plus), and tech development largely done in FY’23 (Page 11-12).
  • Capital allocation is primarily guided towards the digital space as the new growth stream (Page 9).
  • Radio business capex is largely front-loaded; most licenses are mid-way through their 15-year term, implying limited near-term capex for radio (Page 9).
  • Investment philosophy involves patient and strategic spending rather than aggressive burn typical of VC-funded models (Page 7-8).
