    Investment Rationale

    India is the worlds fastest growing mobile telecom services marketIndia is the fastest growing wireless market in the world and has the second largest mobile service

    connections after China. In India, the customer base of the mobile telecom service providersincreased by 20.2 million in March 2011, taking the total number of mobile subscriptions to morethan 811.6 million. This includes 66.3% urban and 33.7% rural subscribers. The total telecomcustomer base has increased to 846.3 million and the overall tele-density in the country hasreached 70.9. The industry is expected to reach a size of Rs 344,921 cr by 2012 at a growth rate ofover 26%. India is expected to have 1.16 billion mobile subscribers by 2013 and it is expected toovertake China.

    3G services to be a growth driver

    Bharti Airtel had bagged 3G spectrum in 13 out of the 22 telecom circles through an auction heldlast year, for Rs 12,295 cr. These 13 circles have 65-70% of the companys 2G subscriber baseThe company has already launched 3G services in many cities. The initial response has beenoverwhelming and Airtel is the market leader with 3 million 3G customers out of the total 9million users of this service. The company plans to offer services like video call, live streaming ofvideo, high speed internet, mobile TV etc.in the beginning. This service, a premium offering isexpected to stabilize the companys ARPU (Average Revenue Per User) though the voicetelephony and SMS are being provided by the company at prices that are at par with 2G. The nonvoice revenue contributes ~12% to the total revenues in India, compared to 25-30% in developedmarkets and it is expected to grow in the years going forward. For Bharti Airtel, the share of valueadded revenues in the total revenues increased to 15.0% in Q4FY11 compared to 13.8% inQ3FY11. 3G services would further increase the Value Added Services (VAS) share in mobilityrevenue. The company plans to generate one fourth of its sales from non voice revenues over thenext two or three years. This shift to non-voice and also non-SMS revenues is already visible asSMS services that used to contribute 3/4 th to the non voice revenue a year back, just contributes1/4th now.

    Indus is the largest independent tower

    company in the world having about 108,586

    towers under its management as on Mar 31,

    2011.

    The total number of towers under Indus has

    grown by 5.5% in the last one year.

    The broadband connectivity has found the

    pride of place in the governments to-do list

    because studies have shown that for every

    10% increase in internet penetration, GDP

    climbs by 1.38%.

    Opportunities in the telemedia services

    Bharti Airtel has a large presence in the telemedia services that include fixed line, broadband & the

    newly introduced IPTV. Telemedia services had a customer base of 3.3 million as of March 31

    2011. Total net additions in subscriber base was ~39,000 in Q4FY11. ARPU for telemedia service

    was Rs 934 per month. These services contributed Rs 917.8 cr in Q4FY11 to the overall revenues

    of the company and had an EBITDA margin of 45.2%. Airtel Fixed line and DSL (Digita

    Subscriber Line) was available in 87 top cities in India as on Dec 31, 2011. Broadband penetration

    in India is approximately 1% with a mere 11.9 million broadband connections. Airtel is expected

    to benefit from the expected high growth in the telemedia services in the coming years as the

    broadband revolution is forecasted to follow the wireless revolution in India.

    New greenfield entrants facing significant challenge

    Greenfield telecom service providers are facing a tough time with operators like Uninor, Sistema

    Shyam, EtisalatDB, Videocon, Stel and Loop Telecom garnering a miniscule subscriber market

    share. It looks inevitable that in the long run, merger with the larger companies remains the most

    probable outcome for most of these operators. Bharti is likely to benefit from tapering competitive

    pressure on the domestic front, though it is tough to put an exact timeline to the occurrence of this

    event.

    The total subscriber base in Africa grew 4.9%

    to 44.206 million in Q4FY11 from 42.124

    million in Q3FY11.

    Airtel only covers 16 countries and ~44% of

    Africas population.

    Only one out of three persons owns a mobile

    in Africa, compared with seven out of ten in

    India.

    The Africa opportunity

    The acquisition of Zains African business has given geographical diversification to Bharti Airtel

    Bharti is targeting 100 million subscribers by the end of FY2013, from its business in this

    continent. It plans to increase its revenues to US$ 5 billion and EBITDA to US$ 2 billion by the

    end of the next financial year. The rest of the African countries apart from that covered by Zain,

    are presently untouched by Airtel and present a huge opportunity in the future. The turnaround in

    Bhartis Africa business has begun. Despite being involved in a price war in several Africancountries, revenues from Africa operations stood at US$ 924 million for Q4FY11 up 1.4% QoQ

    The EBITDA stood at US$ 224 million. The EBITDA margin was at 24.2%. The net profit stood

    at US$ -92 million. The operating free cash flows were at US$ -158 million. The company has

    increased its market share marginally in Africa in the March 2011 quarter. The ARPU came down

    from US$ 7.3 to US$ 7.2 for the same period and the Average Minutes of Usage per user wen

    down from 120 to 115. Bharti Airtel also has 3G licenses in 9 out of the 16 African countries it

    operates in and offers this service in 8 countries. Airtel Zambia intends to launch 3G network in

    the near future. The company is expecting more licenses in Africa in the next 6 months.

Idea cellular has90% active subscribers followed by Vodafone Essar at 76%, 66-68% for RelianceCommunications, 57% for BSNL, 49.7% for Tatas GSM business and 46.5% for their CDMAbusiness. New telecom service providers such as EtisalatDB, Stel, Uninor and Sistema Shyamhave less than 50% active customers. MTNL is at the bottom of the list with 35.6% activesubscribers in GSM and 27% in CDMA.

    Focus on rural demand

    Bharti Airtel has shifted focus to the rural demand in India. Revenue growth going forward for the

    company, apart from 3G and Africa, would be driven by the rural demand in India. Rural India

    constitutes 33.7% of Indias overall wireless subscriber base. Rural penetration remains low in

    India at less than 25%. Bharti Airtel at present has a high rural market share of ~25%.

    Key Concerns

    Mobile Number Portability (MNP)While some subscibers of the company can migrate to other telecom service providers attracted bylower prices, others can get attracted to the company due to its record of providing excellentservice. MNP service that was launched in Haryana on Nov 25, 2010 is available throughout Indiasince Jan 20, 2011.

    Temporary setback to telecom tower businessTelecom towers which act as emitting points for cell phone signals, have not been getting added

    tenancy. Launch of 3G services and expansion plans of new telecom operators like UninorVideocon, Loop Telecom, Etisalat etc. were expected to create a surge in tower tenancy. Butuncertainty over license conditions for new operators has put network rollouts on hold, thusaffecting the growth of the tower business temporarily.

    TRAI recommendation for additional 2G spectrum payment

    Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) has issued a recommendation that companiesholding over 6.2 MHz of spectrum or radio frequencies would have to pay for the additionalspectrum from April 2010 onwards. Accordingly Airtel would be required to pay Rs 4,000 cr. ifthese recommendations are accepted by the government.

    Due to the new telecom service providers

    offering rock bottom rates in order to entice

    customers from the established players, all

    the entrenched players except Tata

    Teleservices have lost market share in the

    last one year period.

    Decline in ARPUs is mainly because of theintense competition, resulting in steep fall in

    mobile rates and also due to the companysthrust on the rural customers. In Q4FY11,

    Bharti AirtelIndias Average MOU (Minutesof Use) per user was 449 minutes, down -4%

    YoY from 468 minutes in Q4FY10. ARPM

    (Average Rate Per Minute) was at 43.1 paise,

    down -8% from 47 paise in the last quarter of

    FY10. ARPM is expected to improve going

    forward due to the increased use of 3G

    services and the industry players hiking the

    low unsustainable 2G tariffs.

    Bharti Airtel has already launched 3G

    services in many cities including Delhi &

    Mumbai garnering ~3 million 3G subscribers.

    The company is a market leader in this

    segment also. This represents a market share

    of appox. 30.0% out of a total ~10 mn 3G

    Conclusion

    India is the fastest growing telecom market in the world. The mobile subscriber base of BhartiAirtel in India is growing at a scorching pace of ~3 million subscribers per month. The companyalso has the largest number of active customers (~92%) among all mobile telecom operators. Thecompany is all set to exploit the 3G opportunity in India, as it launches these premium servicesacross all 13 circles that it had bagged in the auction. This is expected to accelerate the increase incompanys non voice revenue. Bhartis Africa operations have been stabilizing with subscribersgrowing steadily and its market share in the continent improving. The company is also focusing onrural customers. While one out of every 5 subscriber nationally is a Airtel customer, in case ofrural customers this ratio is one out of four. 3G, Africa operations and the rural markets in Indiaare going to be the growth drivers for the company going ahead. The mobile rates have already

    reached rock bottom with the new players running out of steam. This presents acquisitionopportunities for Bharti in the near future. The expected broadband revolution is set to boost therevenues of the companys telemedia services arm, going further. Though BhartisARPUs havebeen declining, they are expected to stabilize at the present levels.Bharti Airtel has a market capitalization of Rs 144439.1 cr. and is trading at a share price of Rs.380.35. The consolidated TTM EPS is Rs. 15.6 translating into a TTM PE of 24.5. The price tobook value stands at 3.0. The stock is an attractive buy considering the growth prospects of theindustry as well as the company.

    We recommend a BUY on the stock with an investment horizon of 12 months and targe

    price of Rs. 450.

    Weaknesses

    Decline in customer market share: Bharti Airtel'scustomer market share has declined to 20.0% in March 2011compared to 21.8% in March 2010. However, all the majortelecom service providers except Tata Teleservices havetaken a hit on their market share during this period due tothe new greenfield operators offering rock bottom prices

    Decline in ARPU's: Due to the company's focus on therural markets, ARPU's have declined from Rs 220 inQ4FY10 to Rs 194 in Q4FY11.

    Opportunities

    India is the fastest growth mobile services market in theworld: The mobile connections in India increased by ~20million in March 2011 to reach 811.6 million. The highgrowth is expected to continue, going further.

    New subcriber additions through MNP: Bharti Airtel hasthe opportunity of attracting subscribers of other telecomservice providers after the launch of Mobile NumberPortability (MNP) recently, as the company has a reputationof providing excellent services.

    Future potential of telemedia services: The governmenthas a huge stake in the growth of these services as a 10%growth in the broadband services results in ~1.38% growthin the GDP of the country. This presents a good opportunityfor Airtel in the coming years.

    Possibilty of acquistions: The new greenfield operatorshave not been successful in acquiring a decent revenue andcustomer market share, inspite of offering lower prices. Thismay lead to an opportunity for the bigger plaerys like Bhartito acquire these businesses in the future.

    Threats

    MNP can be a double edged sword: Other telecom serviceproviders, especillay the new greenfield entrants could try toentice Airtel's customers through rock bottom prices.

    Temperory setback to telecom tower growth: Due to theuncertainty faced by the new operators over licenseconditions, the new operators have put their network rollouton hold, thus affecting the tower business.

    TRAI recommendation: Airtel would have to pay Rs4,000 cr. extra, if the TRAI recommendation of chargingthose telecom companies that hold more 2G spectrum than6.2 Mhz (from April 2010 onwards), are accepted.
