Good morning,

Media: MNC Group Still Dominates Audience Share

We remain OVERWEIGHT on the Media Sector as:
1. We expect a recovery in Indonesia’s economy;
2. We have seen improvement in the sales growth of consumer companies – which could benefit the media industry.
Based on the latest Nielsen data in September, Media Nusantara maintained its dominance in prime time audience share of 45.1% (-0.1ppt MoM). However, Surya Citra failed to impress September’s prime time audience share numbers as it dropped by 0.8ppt MoM.
¨ Rajawali Citra Televisi Indonesia’s (RCTI) 1.8-ppt improvement in prime time audience shares helped retain Media Nusantara Citra’s (Media Nusantara) dominance. In September, RCTI retained the top spot in prime time audience share, as it improved 1.8ppts MoM to 31.2% - which is the highest since February. Thanks to its strong programme line up like Anak Jalanan, Tukang Bubur Naik Haji, and new drama series Anugrah Cinta. Due to the improvement of RCTI’s audience share, Media Nusantara has been able to maintain its dominance in prime time audience share of 45.1% (-0.1ppt MoM). Despite the strong improvement in RCTI, Media Nusantara’s other TV stations – MNCTV and Global TV – failed to impress as their audience shares fell 1.8ppts and 0.1ppts MoM respectively. We suspect that MNCTV’s market share was taken by Trans7 (+1ppt MoM).

¨ Surya Citra Media (Surya Citra) failed to continue the recovery in prime time audience shares. Surya Citra’s prime time audience share slipped by 0.8ppts MoM to 23.4% in September. It was due to the decline in SCTV’s prime time audience share by 1.4ppt MoM to 10.4%. We think that RCTI has been able to grab the market share from it. Meanwhile, Indosiar managed to continue its good performance in September – whereby its prime time audience share improved by 0.6ppts MoM to 13%. Thanks to its programs like Bintang Pantura 3 and Golden Memories Reunion. We view that Indosiar would be a driver for Surya Citra’s performance in 2H16 on the back of its high prime time audience share – which could lead to higher sponsorship fees.
¨ Bakrie Group and Trans Group improved their prime time audience shares. Bakrie Group, which owns two TV stations, ANTV and TV One, managed to improved its prime time audience share in September – growing by 0.5ppts MoM to 15.2%. ANTV’s prime time audience share grew 0.6ppts MoM on the back of its Turkish Drama. Meanwhile, Trans Group also recorded an improvement in prime time audience share of 12.9% (+0.3ppts MoM). Trans7, one of its TV stations, showed the highest improvement at 7.6% (+1ppt MoM) on the back of its MotoGP, and new programme, Opera Van Java.
¨ Maintain OVERWEIGHT. We continue to like Media Nusantara, given:
i. Better margins from cost savings due to the completion of three new studios and potential acquisition of a production house;
ii. A strong programme line up in 2H16 to drive its rate card;
iii. Potential higher dividend in FY17F.
Meanwhile, we remain positive on Surya Citra on the back of:
i. An expected improvement in SCTV’s audience share from its new drama series and sports content;
ii. Potential additional revenue stream from big screen movies;
Potential higher ad spend from the economic recovery. (David Hartono)
