Share Share ShareShare

Mumbai: Whilst the Indian media and entertainment industry faced degrowth of around 24% in 2020 according to reports, NXTDIGITAL Ltd continued on its high-performance trajectory during the quarter and year ending March 31, 2021.

FINANCIAL RESULTS

On a Consolidated basis, the Revenue for the quarter ending March 31, 2021 at Rs 277.96 crores grew by 6.95% over the previous quarter of Rs 259.90 crores and by 22.38% over the corresponding quarter of the previous year. The Earnings Before Interest Depreciation and Taxes (EBIDTA) for the quarter at Rs 67.54 crores was higher by 8.10% over the EBIDTA of the previous quarter of Rs 62.47 crores and a 167% growth over the EBIDTA of the corresponding quarter of the previous year.

During the quarter, the Company posted a handsome Profit After Tax (PAT) of Rs 13.66 crores as against a PAT of Rs 0.32 crores in the previous quarter and a Loss after tax of Rs (43.43 crores) in the corresponding quarter of the previous year.

For the year ending March 31, 2021, on a Consolidated basis, the Company recorded an EBIDTA of Rs 232.08 crores, growing by 6.16% over the EBIDTA of the previous year of Rs 218.62 crores (excluding one-time revenues of Rs 123.12 crores in the previous year). Consolidated revenue for the year remained consistent at Rs 1,008.5 crores, marginally down from Rs 1,038 crores –due to a reduction in the low-margin non-core trading business. The EBIDTA margins improved to 23.01% for the year compared to 21.04% in the previous year.

Dividend

Despite the challenges of the year, in order to acknowledge the unstinting support of the shareholder family who have stood by the Company, the Board of Directors of the Company at their meeting held on 13th May 2021 have recommended a dividend of Rs 4 per equity share of face value of Rs 10 each, subject to shareholders’ approval.

Rights Issue

In order to have a stronger capital structure which provides a strong basis for future growth investments; and to bring in a more healthy mix of debt to equity by reducing debt and improving the equity base, the Board of Directors at their meeting held on 13th May, 2021 have approved a “Rights Issue” of 2 Equity shares of face value of Rs 10 each for every 5 Equity shares of face value of Rs 10 each held in the Company at an issue price of Rs 300 per share.This is subject to regulatory and other approvals.The Board has set up a Committee of the Board to inter alia, decide on the record date and other details of the Rights Issue.

Performance Review Snapshot FY 2021

Faced with the challenges of the pandemic, the company accelerated its transformation to an “all-digital” services company, redefining the business models through innovation and leveraging the product portfolio optimally. Some of the drivers included:

Rolling out a digital work-from-home solutions bundle that included television channels, special value-added services (including educational and other exclusive channels) and high-speed internet delivering speeds up to 1,000Mbps.

Leveraging the broadband capability of the organization to optimally cater to the surge in demand – the business saw a huge growth of 87% in the customer base; growing from 0.329mn in FY20 to 0.615mn in FY21. In fact, NXT’s broadband arm, ONEOTT Intertainment Ltd. added over 100,000 customers in the last quarter of FY21 alone.

Working with broadcasters and last-mile partners to create innovative content packages to cater to the changing consumer demand – ranging from all-HD content packages to kids’ content to economical infotainment packages. The efficacy is reflected in ARPUs; in the case of DAS3 markets (where the HITS platform has a significant base), ARPUs grew from Rs 144 in FY20 to Rs 151.

Ensuring a strong business continuity plan to keep the operations going – delivering uninterrupted customers services and maintaining a high level of quality of service for television and broadband.

Vynsley Fernandes, MD & CEO at NXTDIGITAL Ltd. said “This performance trains the spotlight on NXTDIGITAL, considering this was easily one of the most challenging years, which saw a significant impact on the media and entertainment industry. The stellar performance can be attributed to the company’s focus on uninterrupted customer service during the lockdown and after, innovative products and solutions to combat the myriad of ground challenges, driving close to a 100% digital mode of collections on a prepaid basis and the unstinting and tireless efforts of all our employees and our Last Mile partners – all of whom rose to the occasion, without exception”.
