The burden of 3G and Zain acquisition…
The management has indicated that the Zain deal is likely to be closed in the next couple of weeks. A
falling dollar could continue to hurt Zain, which bills in local currencies but uses the dollar to report its
earnings. Bharti has secured financing for the Zain acquisition, but it faces another huge bill: 3G
spectrum. The auction for 3G spectrum ends next week and pan India licenses have been bid up to more
than Rs 9000 crore and value is on the higher side. However the increase in mobile traffic and the high
rate of subscriber growth makes is pertinent to get additional spectrum in the longer term. We are
awaiting further clarity on the Zain acquisition and Bangladesh operations and hence we have not
factored the same in our estimates. We have not included the. Also, the high price 3G spectrum would
lead to further debt rising and this would stretch the balance sheet of the company, we would revise our
estimates in due course.
Outlook & Valuation
The sustained fall in tariffs over the past couple of quarters has triggered a growth in volume as
witnessed by a 13% growth in mobile traffic. The slowdown in earnings growth was expected because
fierce competition continues to drive prices down. Telecom companies will continue to feel the heat, as
tariffs continue to fall and costs go up as companies bid in ongoing auctions for third-generation mobile
spectrum. Going forward, Bharti’s diversified revenue stream and low cost of operation gives it a
significant advantage. However concerns on Zain deal and high price of 3G spectrum continue to be
dampeners. At CMP the stock is quoting at 7.6x its FY11E EV/EBITDA, we reiterate our Marketperformer
rating on the stock with a price target of Rs 341.
