Stock Performance (1-year)
Currently, the Bharti Airtel (BHARTI) stock is down ~20% from its peak due to
the Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak and the consequent complete lockdown
in India.
Additionally, both BHARTI and Vodafone-Idea (VIL) are facing the ire of the
Supreme Court (SC), which recently dismissed their plea toward self-
assessment of AGR liabilities.
We see limited impact of COVID-19, currency and crude price swings on the
BHARTI stock and believe that it is the best hedged to face regulatory woes.
Through this report, we look at how BHARTI is placed in the current tough
environment and the key catalysts at hand for it to deliver.
COVID-19 to have limited impact on earnings
Given the complete lockdown in India due to COVID-19, net subscriber adds
(average 2-3 months) have stalled thus impacted by 1-2%. With physical
recharges being unavailable, there has been a shift to digital recharges (from
15% in the last 1-2 years to 35-40% currently). In the current environment,
more tech-savvy data subscribers with higher ARPUs and longer-term
recharges of 90 days may see lower impact. However, the rest of feature
phone subscribers doing monthly recharges (one-third the ARPU of data
subscribers), could see some marginal impact as to protect these low income
subscribers (80m), BHARTI has extended free incoming calls until 17
th
Apr’20
with additional INR10 talk-time. This could impact 1QFY21 revenue/EBITDA
by INR2.2b/INR1.8b i.e. equivalent to meager 1-2%. Against this, increased
data consumption should see upgrades in recharge values, thus, mitigating
the impact. In 4QFY20/1QFY21, we currently estimate 13%/19% revenue
growth on QoQ basis.
Currency and crude fluctuation impact much lower
The recent sharp INR depreciation should increase BHARTI’s USD capex/debt
and put some of its African business under stress due to its high crude
exports. However, we do not expect a meaningful impact. The USD
denominated India capex is ~30%, thus, 10% INR depreciation could have ~3%
increase. Similarly, ~28% of BHARTI’s debt is USD denominated while India
debt is 15%. The sharp reduction in crude prices could result in revenue
softness in the short term, particularly in Nigeria, Congo and Chad. However,
BHARTI’s FCF positive position and lower leverage should have limited impact.
Expect strong ARPU increase or market share gains
We believe that BHARTI remains in a win-win situation, irrespective of the
SC’s
outcome on VIL’s fortunes. The government has been pitching for a
healthy telecom market (3 private and 1 PSU player), which accentuates the
need for VIL to stay afloat. However, VIL’s survival will require a sharp ARPU
increase (potentially >30%) along with moratorium of payments to service its
regulatory and debt obligations, which could also benefit BHARTI. Further,

Bharti Airtel
even in the worst-case scenario of no government support on AGR dues, BHARTI’s
financial position is strong enough to withstand the storm, and in fact, could lead to
significant market share gains for the company at the cost of VIL. In either case, our
workings indicate that BHARTI could deliver a marked rise in earnings; we see
potential increase of ~39% in our FY22 EBITDA estimate to INR621b
(refer exhibit 1
& 2).
ARPU – Potential to reach INR200?
The recent price hike will likely take BHARTI’s ARPU to INR160 (1QFY21) despite the
COVID-19 impact as an upgrade in recharges should offset any impact due to
physical store recharge. Further, a 10% ARPU increase should pan out annually due
to mix benefit as 30-40m subscribers (>10%) shift to higher-ARPU mobile broadband
plans every year. Subsequently, BHARTI’s FY22 exit ARPU should reach over INR180.
This is still below its FY15 ARPU of ~INR200 when data subscribers (offering 2x
ARPUs) were only 20% of total subscribers v/s 50% today. We see a strong likelihood
of an industry-wide price action over the next 2-3 quarters as VIL attempts to stay
afloat by generating sufficient cash flow to service its regulatory/financial burden.
This could be through (a) postpaid ARPU increase, (b) increasing data bundle plans,
and (c) minimum recharge plans. Also, the TRAI consultation paper on floor price,
telcos’ curbing data plans and increased share of value-added services like
entertainment and banking could further drive ARPUs.
Revenue growth through market share gains
With VIL facing the risk of survival, we expect BHARTI to garner 60% subscriber
share and 50% revenue share from VIL. BHARTI’s technology-agnostic device
ecosystem is well placed to gain market share from over two-thirds of feature phone
subscribers. Even if VIL weathers the current financial woes, its weak 7-8 circles
could continue seeing sharp subscriber churn, benefiting BHARTI significantly over
the coming 2-3 quarters. Further, VIL’s ongoing network integration along with
customer worries of business continuation, could pose a strong opportunity for
peers to chase market share.
Will BHARTI lose its sheen due to collateral damage?
The incremental market share from a weakening third player in the telecom market
will certainly benefit BHARTI. However, it could also face repercussions on three
fronts: (i) erosion of Bharti Infratel’s value in SOTP, which is INR43/share i.e. 7% of
our TP, (ii) network cost increase of 2-3% i.e. 2k/3k per site due to the cut in VIL’s
tenancies and (iii) incremental capex of ~INR50b for 25-30k fresh site additions to
accommodate the traffic load on the network. Against this, overall incremental
EBITDA of over INR100b should still be significantly higher to manage the
incremental impact.
FCF generation overlooked
Over the last decade, BHARTI has been saddled with high capex, spectrum
acquisition cost and depressed EBITDA, which has suppressed its FCF. However, we
expect the potential restoration of the past era (2G) when telcos had the
opportunity to monetize investments for a prolonged period. With a large part of
the heavy lifting toward 4G network in place, incremental capex should be in check,
while EBITDA should see a marked improvement. This should provide an
opportunity to deleverage the balance sheet. Subsequently, we expect FCF (post
interest) to increase to over INR300b in FY22 (if EBITDA grows to INR621b) from
INR25b in FY20 and negative in FY19.

RoCE becoming relevant
Over the last 10 years, BHARTI’s RoCE was barely in mid-single-digit due to the hyper
competitive landscape and continued capex toward technology advancements,
spectrum renewals and investments in Africa. Now with benign competition and
limited possibility of a new player’s entry, ARPUs could be determined to at least
cover the WACC. In our view, at EBITDA of INR621b, BHARTI could garner pre-tax
RoCE of ~19%.
Risk of capex intensity
We do not see any material investments in 5G to happen over the next 3-4 years as
(a) new use cases for 5G are few and far, and (b) incremental consumer benefit is
limited, as data speed could easily be dealt by 4G investments. Further, unlike in the
past when 4G investment was inevitable due to the entry of a new player, we don’t
see any pressure on technology or spectrum investments.
Valuation and view
Our estimates do not capture the potential upside for BHARTI from incremental
ARPU growth or market share gains, but factor in the AGR liability impact of
INR343b (according to BHARTI) as against Department of Telecommunications’
(DoT) figure of INR445b. In either case, there would be EBITDA growth opportunity.
EBITDA of INR621b (based on our ARPU workings) could generate FCF yield (post
interest) of 11%. Thus, 10x EV/EBITDA could derive a TP of INR910 after factoring in
the impact of Bharti Infratel. Further, this does not capture the potential
deleveraging benefits. We maintain our
Buy
rating with SOTP-based TP of INR620,
assigning 11x (to capture the incremental earnings upside) on India wireless EBITDA
and Africa at 6x.

ARPU increase or market share gains?
Price hike taken for VIL’s survival
We believe that ARPU increase is a function of VIL’s survival, in line with the
government’s stated desire of having a healthy telecom market (with 3-private/1-
PSU players). Assuming INR300b of annual cash requirement (includes capex, cash
interest cost, AGR repayment and deferred spectrum liability), VIL needs ARPU of
INR188 to survive. The government has provided a 2-year moratorium until FY22 on
deferred spectrum dues, and thus, the next payment should come up in FY23. Thus,
VIL will need additional ~39% ARPU increase over the next 6-9 months to fund its
annual cash requirement, assuming no material market share churn. This may
provide incremental EBITDA upside of 39%/50% for BHARTI/RJio.

Revenue increase through market share gains
With VIL’s survival under threat, RJio and BHARTI could gain disproportionately, in
our view. Thus, irrespective of an adverse ruling, BHARTI has best hedged its
position even assuming that it pays the AGR liability. Our workings (in case of VIL
shutdown) indicate that BHARTI will gain 60% subscriber share, while the revenue
share will be split equally between BHARTI and RJio. We believe that BHARTI would
30 March 2020

 Motilal Oswal Financial Services
Bharti Airtel
gain 80% of VIL’s low-ARPU feature phone subscribers as shifting to RJio would
require customers to buy Jiophone, which may not be feasible for them. We expect
postpaid and non-bundle high-ARPU customers to be split equally between both
BHARTI/RJio while broadband customers should be split in a 40:60 ratio, which
should provide them with incremental revenues of INR228b/INR245b, equivalent to
20%/26% jump from our current FY22 estimates.
Another scenario is that both BHARTI/RJio gain a subscriber share of 40%/60%,
which could provide additional EBITDA of INR150b/INR100b at 50% margin, implying
a jump of 29%/22% on FY22E EBITDA to INR671b/INR547b.

Incremental cost for servicing VIL subscribers may not be significant
Currently, exponential data volume increase coming from unlimited plans has
burdened networks, and thus, speeds have turned subpar. VIL’s 118m broadband
customers and 3.8b GB of data traffic could increase BHARTI/RJio’s traffic volume by
30-40%. However, managements have indicated that they have options for
debottlenecking the network via spectrum re-farming, densification and backhaul
through massive multi-input multi-output (MIMO) and fiberization. Our workings
suggest that the extra traffic volume will have minimal impact on BHARTI’s network
cost, which will likely increase 2-5% with 0.6-1.2% impact on consolidated EBITDA.
Second, it would require BHARTI to add 25-30k incremental sites with additional
one-time capex of INR50b to increase its capacity, which is equivalent to ~1.3% of its
current enterprise value. Thus, an increase in traffic should have minimal impact on
the company. However, the existence of Bharti Infratel could be questioned as its
primary role of reducing network cost through sharing may be contested. This could
erode the value of Bharti Infratel, which currently contributes 7-8% of our TP.

FCF and RoCE to turn sizeable
Since FY12, BHARTI’s RoCE has been on a downward curve and is struggling in mid-
single-digit due to (a) ballooning capital employed, which can be attributed to
investments in new technology, spectrum renewals and investments in Africa, and
(b) dwindling profitability given the pressure on ARPUs with RJio turning aggressive.
However, with ARPU increase becoming a reality, BHARTI’s management has started
focusing on RoCE. Recently, BHARTI’s Managing Director, Mr. Gopal Vittal said,
“Bharti’s
RoCE would be just head above water at an ARPU of INR200.”
Going
forward, the company should see benefit of (a) improving earnings due to an
increase in ARPU, and (b) the capex cycle passing its peak. Our workings indicate
that with a further ARPU increase of 39% to keep VIL alive, BHARTI’s EBITDA of
INR621b would fetch RoCE of 19% on a pre-tax basis. This could be a key valuation
trigger as the company would start garnering a reasonable RoCE. Further, at
INR621b EBITDA level and coupled with stable capex and falling interest cost, FCF
generation could be ~INR300b with a yield of 10-11% even at current valuation. This
again should be a strong positive for the company, which had negative FCF of
INR220b in FY19 and just reached FCF breakeven in FY20.

Buy with TP of INR620
Our estimates do not capture potential gains from (a) ARPU hike required for VIL to
survive, and (b) market share gains resulting from the weakening third player (VIL).
However, we have fully captured the AGR liabilities’ impact of INR343b in our SOTP
model. We have merely factored in a mix-driven ARPU improvement of 2%
quarterly, but no further price hike, which is needed to maintain industry viability.
Subsequently, we have captured a higher multiple in our SOTP-based model,
wherein we have assigned 11x EV/EBITDA to BHARTI’s India wireless business and 6x
EV/EBITDA to its Africa business on FY22E. Our TP stands at INR620, Maintain

Potential valuation gains from ARPU hike or market share gain
BHARTI has a potential to garner EBITDA of INR621b in FY22 from the ARPU hike
opportunity arising from VIL’s survival needs (refer
exhibits 1 & 2).
This could lead to
FCF yield of ~11% in FY22 with pre-tax RoCE of 19%. In case of no government
support and shutdown of VIL, BHARTI should garner incremental EBITDA through
market share gains. Thus, in both scenarios, the company is likely to garner
additional EBITDA. At EV/EBITDA of 10x at consolidated level, BHARTI could garner a

BHARTI revises AGR liabilities much below earlier provisioning
According to DoT, BHARTI/VIL’s current outstanding AGR dues stand at
INR440b/INR580b while the companies have repaid INR180b/INR65b of total
outstanding dues. Even compared to BHARTI/VIL’s own provisioning of
INR343b/INR442b in 2QFY20, the repayment is much lower. BHARTI has stated that
(based on its self-assessment) it has paid INR130b, while additional INR50b is ad-hoc
payment to cover the difference against DoT’s calculation.
We have factored in AGR liabilities of INR343b based on the company’s earlier
estimate, which is INR163b lower than its own provisioning of INR343b i.e.
INR30/share in 2QFY20. If the liability reduces to the current estimate in the future,
the company’s share price could potentially increase by INR30/share.
