III. OTHER INFORMATION:
-
a. Reasons for loss or inadequate profits: The Company continues to acquire customers and incur subsidy on all such acquisitions. Moreover, the Company continues to spend on brand building, marketing, infrastructure, customer support service, sales and distribution infrastructure etc., which will continue and shall continue to benefit the Company in coming years. Fixed cost pertaining to salary, administration, technology cost, call center cost and transponder charges continues to create heavy toll on the finances of the Company. The change in the landscape in channel distribution business has led to margin pressure and sub-optimal pricing of the product. All of this has resulted in losses to the Company. Though the Company remains positive at the EBITDA level, but due to the amortization of Goodwill and brand, profit after tax is negative and impacting the overall profitability of the Company.
-
b. Steps taken or proposed to be taken for improvement: The Company has started universalization of all Set Top Boxes to be converted into High-Definition Boxes. We have also launched a penetrated High end Android Box for the discerning customers. Recently the OTT Platform has also gained popularity amongst our subscribers and the combination of traditional DTH offering combined with the OTT platform will provide stability and durability to the revenue stream. The Company is also moving fast in placing its product across all digital savvy platforms for the wider reach and acceptability of the product. Zing Super is gaining popularity in rural area, and we are hopeful of monetizing the same as GDP keeps improving from now onwards. There is a constant vigil on variable cost component for its optimization and control. There have been consistent efforts by the Company to provide various options of recharge of DTH connection of the Company through digital modes which efforts have shown positive results and the Company shall keep on working towards the same to not only provide ease of recharge to the customers but also will result into cost saving to the Company.
-
c. Expected increase in productivity and profits in measurable terms: Under the leadership of Mr. Puri, the Company is expected to expand its operations to a wider section of subscriber due to the availability of both DTH as well as the OTT Platform. The Company is expanding the content distribution through offering new and contemporarily products and choices to the customers.
As there is no debt obligation, the outgo on account of principal and interest as in earlier years will be saved and used for business purposes. The Watcho OTT Platform will galvanise the floating young subscribers and will add to the overall kitty of revenue and profitability. Going forward, the pressure of amortization of intangible assets will ease and will provide relief to the bottom line. The confluence of four brand offerings i.e Dishtv,
14
D2H, Zing Super and Watcho OTT app, will attract wider audience and provide choice to the customers of different price point and genre of content.
