December 22, 2015 Initiating Coverage ICICI Securities Ltd | Retail Equity Research Gearing up for a ‘wonderful’ ride! Wonderla Holidays (WHL) is one of the leading amusement park operators in India. WHL currently operates two established parks: one in Kochi (since 2000) and the other in Bengaluru (since 2005). The company is setting up a new park in Hyderabad (by Apr-16). Further, a park in Chennai (by FY19) is under planning stage. These two new parks are expected to boost WHL’s footfall and revenues. Healthy cash flow from established parks (Kochi and Bengaluru) are expected to fund the capex of new parks (Hyderabad and Chennai), thereby helping the company maintain healthy growth metrics. WHL is expected to be one of the key beneficiaries of favourable demographics and rising discretionary spends. Considering this, we expect the company to report revenue and EBITDA CAGR of 26.2% and 25.9%, respectively, over FY15-18E. We initiate coverage on the stock with a BUY recommendation. Favourable macro environment to help reduce payback period… With a higher disposable income and increase in discretionary spend, WHL has been able to increase its blended realisation at 11% CAGR in FY10-15. Favourable demographics have enabled the company to maintain blended footfall of 7.7% CAGR (vs. 6% CAGR for amusement parks in Asia) in FY10-15. Further, with an in-house technical team and controlled cost structure, WHL has maintained average EBITDA margin of ~44% in FY10-15. Consequently, WHL has been able to reduce its payback period from nine years in Kochi to 7.5 years in Bengaluru. The payback period in Hyderabad is expected to further reduce to 7 years. Hyderabad, Chennai park to aid growth The new Hyderabad park is expected to be operational by April 2016. The park will be funded through IPO proceeds and internal accruals. With a population of 1.2 crore in Hyderabad and per capita income of | 1,32,862 (one of the highest in south India), this park is expected to witness robust footfalls and healthy realisation over the coming years. Apart from this, the company is also planning to open a new park in Chennai by FY19, which is expected to further drive the company’s footfalls and revenues. Best in class performance commands premium valuation WHL has consistently maintained an EBITDA margin of 44.0% (highest among Indian and global peers). Further, we believe that a healthy balance sheet (0.03x D/E vs. 1.46x for Adlabs), strong cash flow generation and revenue & EBITDA CAGR of 26.2% and 25.9%, respectively, in FY15-18E demands premium valuations.

Business model of theme parks

The business of theme parks generally requires heavy capital expenditure during construction while limited maintenance expenditure is needed during operation. Because of a high portion of fixed expense, theme parks often incur losses in the first few years of operation when traffic volume is yet to mature. After a theme park achieves breakeven, stable growth in traffic volumes contributes to faster margin improvement and strong earnings growth, helped by operating leverage. The duration of loss depends on investment on the park, its location, product positioning as well as local consumer perception. Footfalls in the amusement park are dependent on demographics, discretionary spending, rides & park attractions, location & accessibility, seasonality and holidays. In India, footfalls in amusement parks are affected by seasonality. Generally, Q1 and Q3 are the best quarters. Footfalls in Q1 are high due to summer vacations, in Q2 are they are low due to monsoons, in Q3 are they high due to festive season & school picnics while footfalls in Q4 are low due to the examination season.

Dynamics of Wonderla Holidays Wonderla has two parks that are mature i.e. Wonderla Kochi and Wonderla Bengaluru. The company generates stable cash flows from these parks and enjoys high margins. Wonderla Bengaluru’s footfall and realisation have increased at a CAGR of 11.7% and 10.1% in FY10-15, respectively. Further, Wonderla Kochi’s footfall and realisation have increased at a CAGR of 4.1% and 12.0% in FY10-15, respectively. Both these parks combined have an EBITDA margin of ~44% led by stable footfalls, competitive pricing and operating leverage (as 70% of the cost is fixed). WHL’s mature properties clocked average RoCE of 35% in FY15. The company will start a new park at Hyderabad in FY17E, which we believe will have lower EBITDA margins (31-44% in FY17E-20E) in the initial years due to high fixed cost and yet-to-mature traffic volumes. However, EBITDA margins are expected to improve as it matures (margins can gradually improve to 45-50% in a stable phase). WHL generates 60% of its revenues from Q1 and Q3 due to the seasonal nature of the business. The Kochi and Bengaluru parks also attract crowd from around the states. At the Kochi park, ~70% of the crowd comes from Kerala while the remaining comes from Tamil Nadu, Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh. As far as the Bengaluru park is concerned, 75% customers are from Karnataka while the balance are from Tamil Nadu, Kerala and Andhra Pradesh. In terms of customers, ~75% of customers are walk in while the balance customers are from schools and corporates.

Revenues of the global amusement industry were at US$29.5 billion (| 1,77,000 crore), 0.03% of global GDP, in FY15 and are expected to grow at a CAGR of 4% to US$32 billion (| 1,92,000 crore) by FY17E. The US and Europe grew at a CAGR of 1.9% and 0.9% in FY08-14, respectively, while Asia, the fastest growing region, grew at 6% CAGR. Asia is expected to become the largest market for the theme park industry in the next 15 years led by rising GDP, burgeoning disposable income, increasing urbanisation and a spurt in total spending on entertainment & leisure facilities.

The estimated size of the Indian parks industry is | 2,600 crore in terms of revenue, which is a mere 1.5% of the global parks industry in revenue terms. Amusement park footfalls in India are estimated at 5.8-6.0 crore annually compared to 30 crore and 16.5 crore in the US and Europe. Going forward, theme parks in India are expected to grow at a robust pace on the back of a rise in consumer discretionary spending and emergence of theme parks as an entertainment destination. Indian amusement parks are expected to grow at a CAGR of 18-20% and reach | 6,000-6,500 crore over the next five years.

Favourable demographics

India has a large pool of population that is young. The median age of India’s population is 27 years. The country has 61% of its population under the age of 30 and 29% below the age of 14 years, according to latest Census data. According to economic survey, India is expected to be the youngest country in the world with the median age of population at 29 years by 2020. The young population is the main driver of consumer spending and looks for different modes of entertainment. Further, the child population is the influencing factor for parents to visit theme parks and play zones. Hence, this demographic dividend will benefit amusement parks as majority of its customers are in this age bracket.

Rising per capita income and discretionary spend…

India has witnessed a steady increase in its per capita income over the years. Its per capita income at the current market price is estimated to increase at a CAGR of 15% to | 1.9 lakh in 2014-20E. Apart from rising per capita income, discretionary spend is expected to increase significantly over the coming years led by higher disposable income, change in consumer spends and upgradation of lifestyle. The share of discretionary spend is expected to increase from 59% in FY10 to 67% in FY20. Within discretionary spend, the share of leisure is expected to increase at a CAGR of 6.4% to | 8,98,400 crore in CY13-24.

….leading to lower payback period, making investment more attractive

With a higher disposable income and increase in discretionary spend, entertainment companies (theatres and theme parks) have been able to increase average ticket prices and also witness an improvement in non ticket revenues over the years. WHL has also been able to increase its blended realisation per footfall at a CAGR of 11% in FY10-15. Despite a blended ticket price CAGR of 11%, the company was able to maintain healthy blended footfall of 7.7% CAGR (vs. 6% CAGR for amusement parks in Asia) over the same period. This has helped WHL to maintain an average EBITDA margin of ~44% in FY10-15. A consistent increase in realisation and stable EBITDA margins has enabled the company to reduce its payback period from nine years in Kochi to 7.5 years in Bengaluru. The payback period in Hyderabad is expected to further reduce to 7 years led by higher realisation and healthy EBITDA margins. Going forward, we expect the blended realisation per footfall to improve from | 736 in FY15 to | 1,034 in FY18E driven by an improvement in non-ticketing revenue, average ticket price and also introduction of differentiated offerings (new rides) and premium offerings (like fast track tickets). We expect the blended footfall to increase at a CAGR of 13.1% in FY15-18E led by the addition of the Hyderabad park.

Wonderla offers value for money option

Three hours of entertainment in a multiplex would cost around | 400-800. In comparison, Wonderla provides an eight to 10 hour entertainment option at | 900-1100 per person [including food & beverages (F&B)]. Wonderla charges for F&B at MRP unlike other amusement parks and multiplexes, which charge way above MRP for F&B products. This reasonable F&B charge differentiates the company from other entertainment options and also promotes F&B consumption. Exhibit 36: Bengaluru entertainment option

Hyderabad park next level of growth

WHL is setting up a third park in Hyderabad and has acquired 49.5 acres of land for the same. Funding will be done through IPO proceeds as well as internal accruals. The park is expected to be operational by April 2016. The company intends to use only 27 acres to set up the proposed amusement park comprising 43 rides (wet rides + dry rides). Total 40% of the rides in Hyderabad are likely to be different while the remaining rides may be similar to Bengaluru. The park has better connectivity compared to other parks in Hyderabad – it is close to the airport and located outside the ring road that connects to Hyderabad city. Coupled with favourable macros like GDP CAGR of 10% in FY06-14, 1.2 crore people in Hyderabad and a per capita income of | 1,32,862 (one of the highest in south India), the park is expected to witness robust footfall and healthy realisation over the coming years. We expect Hyderabad to report footfall of 7 lakh in the first year of operation and cross 10 lakh footfalls by FY21. The realisation is expected to grow at a CAGR of 10.0% in FY17E-21E. We expect the EBITDA margin of the park to improve from 31% in FY17E to 48% in FY21E led by healthy realisation and operating leverage (led by footfall growth). As a result of healthy EBITDA margin, we expect the payback period for Hyderabad to reduce to 7 years vs. eight or nine years for other parks (Bangalore and Kochi).

Mature parks to support growth and expansion

Wonderla has two parks that are mature i.e. Wonderla Kochi and Wonderla Bengaluru. The company generates stable cash flow from these parks and has high margins. The average realisation of the Kochi park has increased from | 372 in FY10 to | 655 in FY15 (CAGR of 12.0% in FY10-15). The realisation of the Bengaluru park has grown at a CAGR of 10.1% in FY10-15. Despite an increase in realisation, Wonderla has been able to maintain a stable footfall over the same period. Both these parks have been able to clock RoCE of 35%. Both these parks have been able to maintain average EBITDA margin of ~44% (in FY10-15E) led by stable footfall, competitive pricing and operating leverage (as 70% of cost is fixed). Further, in FY12-15, these parks have registered an operating cash flow of | 200 core. Going forward, we expect the realisation of the Bengaluru and Kochi parks to increase at a CAGR of 12.1% and 13.8% in FY15-18E, respectively, led by better pricing power and improvement in discretionary spending. We expect realisation CAGR at Kochi park to be higher than the Bengaluru park led by a lower base leading to higher delta compared to the Bengaluru park, which started at a premium to Kochi. Further, the company aims to bolster footfalls at these parks by adding new rides every year (as witnessed in previous years). Footfalls in Bengaluru and Kochi are expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.0% and 2.0%, respectively, in FY15-18E. In light of these factors, we expect revenues at Bengaluru and Kochi to increase at a CAGR of 17.7% and 16.0%, respectively, in FY15-18E. Further, robust cash flow from these parks and lower capex spend are expected to enable Wonderla to not only support growth but also help the company to fund its Hyderabad capex and losses in the initial years.

In-house technical team helps keep maintenance cost under check WHL has an in-house technical team of more than 200 employees. Hence, primarily on account of the above reason, the company has not faced any major mechanical failure at its parks. The presence of a technical team helps in manufacturing, designing and maintenance of rides. WHL manufactures ~33% of its rides in-house, which helps the company to save custom duty on imported rides and spare parts (27-30%) and logistic cost expenses of procurement of rides. Further, as it has a skilled technical team, WHL does not have to rely on foreign vendors for maintenance of rides. In addition to saving cost, it also helps the company in reducing the downtime of rides. Further, WHL designs rides and park in-house. This helps in reducing external agency charges (~| 10-20 crore) for designing a park and its rides.

Wonderla has competitive edge over peers

Amusement parks in India can be sub-divided into small, medium and large parks. The parks are segmented on the basis of capital invested, ticket prices, rides and area. Currently, around 16-18 parks are large parks out of the 150 odd parks in India. Exhibit 51: Segmentation of amusement park industry

As amusement parks entail high capital investment, entry barriers, especially in large parks, are high. A few key players in the large park segments are Essel world, Nicco, Adlabs and Wonderla. Most of these large parks offer wet and dry rides to its customers and charge separately for dry and wet rides. However, Wonderla charges only one rate for dry and wet rides, which helps parks to attract higher footfalls.

Despite attractive rides, WHL has been able to charge lower prices (~| 700-900) compared to other parks that charge ~| 1,000-1,500. This is due to lower capex (e.g. | 250 crore capex for Hyderabad park vs. | 1,650 crore for Imagica) incurred by the company. Competitive pricing helps WHL to counter a sharp dip in footfalls during weak consumer spending. Wonderla charges for food & beverages (F&B) at MRP unlike other amusement parks and multiplexes that charge way above MRP for F&B products. This reasonable F&B pricing differentiates the company from other parks and also promotes F&B consumption. Apart from reasonable F&B charges, conservative pricing of merchandise by the company has kept its non-ticket revenues at ~14% of overall revenues vs. 24% from non-ticket revenues by Adlabs. Thus, there is significant potential for the company to grow its non-ticket revenues. Despite conservative non-ticket charges, non-ticket revenues have grown at 23% CAGR in FY10-15. Going forward, we expect non-ticket revenues to increase at a CAGR of 23% in FY15-18E.

Financials Expect revenue CAGR of 26.2% in FY15-18E An improving economy, higher discretionary spend, rising footfall, better pricing power, growth in non-ticket revenues and limited competition are likely to remain key drivers of growth in FY15-18E. Given this scenario, we expect the Bengaluru and Kochi parks to grow at a CAGR of 17.7% and 16.0%, respectively, in FY15-18E. We expect the addition of the Hyderabad park (operational from FY17E) and Wonderla resort (expected to grow at 15.0% CAGR in FY15-18E) to further drive revenues. Overall, we expect net sales to grow at ~26.2% CAGR to | 365 crore in FY15-18E.

Addition of new park to hit margins initially but improve subsequently Margins are expected to be under pressure in FY17E due to addition of the new park in Hyderabad. However, they are expected to improve post FY17E driven by healthy realisations and operating leverage. Higher occupancy at resorts is further expected to boost margins.

Risks & Concerns Service tax levy to impact financials The central government has imposed a service tax on amusement parks in the 2015-16 Budget. However, amusement parks are already paying entertainment tax in their respective states and amusement park at present comes under the state purview with respect to taxes. Hence, the central government will have to make a constitutional amendment to impose service tax on amusement park. WHL has been paying entertainment tax of 2% in Kochi and 5% in Bengaluru. Thus, on the basis of the above premise, the company has challenged the imposition of service tax in the Kerala and Karnataka High Courts and obtained a stay from the respective courts. Based on the stay order, WHL has not paid service tax worth | 3.5 crore. The company has not paid service tax at the Kochi park for 50 days and for 60 days at the Bengaluru park. Although WHL has made adequate provisions in its P&L for the same, any adverse ruling by high courts will adversely impact the company’s future performance and financials.

Risk of accidents or mishaps at any amusement parks exposes WHL to possible financial liabilities, legal proceedings Ensuring the safety of visitors on rides is critical for the smooth operation of an amusement park. Wonderla has stringent checks in place for safety and hygiene standards. However, since a majority of the company’s current revenue is coming from the operation of two amusement parks, any accident/incident at either of them may result in the temporary closure of the park for some time, thereby affecting revenues of the company and generating adverse publicity.

Slowdown in consumer discretionary spending

The Indian economy is expected to improve led by policy changes and improved consumer spending. However, an economic slowdown may adversely impact discretionary spending. As the business is highly dependent on improving consumer spending, any slowdown will adversely affect the business, operational results, financial conditions as well as prospects.

Page 21ICICI Securities Ltd | Retail Equity Research

Valuations Wonderla is one of the largest amusement park players in south India and is present in Bengaluru and Kochi. With the addition of two new amusement parks in Hyderabad and Chennai, the company is set to become the biggest amusement park company with a presence across regions in south India. WHL enjoys high brand equity and has a competitive edge over its peers due to reasonable F&B pricing and lower capex investment. An experienced management team successfully running amusement parks for over 15 years also gives an edge to the company over its peers. A high entry barrier due to high capital investment and limited number of large amusement parks in India coupled with favourable demographics and rising discretionary spend augur well for WHL. We expect it to witness a sharp improvement in footfall and realisation led by addition of new parks and favourable demographics. Further, WHL has been able to generate higher cash flow driven by healthy margins at mature parks. As a result of high cash flow generation, the company has been able to keep its debt to equity lower and has also been able to expand through internal accruals. We expect WHL to report revenue and EBITDA CAGR of 26.2% and 25.9%, respectively, over the next three years (FY15-18E). Wonderla has been able to consistently maintain an EBITDA margin of 44.3%, which is the highest EBITDA margin compared to Indian and global peers. Going forward, we expect the company to maintain healthy margins in coming years. Further, a healthy balance sheet, strong cash flow generation and addition of new parks are expected to maintain the robust financials of WHL. We have valued the company based on DCF valuations to arrive at a target price of | 460 (assuming a WACC of 11% and terminal growth of 5%), providing an upside of 18%.

Evolution of amusement park industry An amusement park is a generic term for a collection of rides and other entertainment attractions, assembled for the purpose of entertaining a large group of people. An amusement park stands out from a simple city park as it is more elaborate and provides attractions meant to cater to adults, teenagers and kids. Amusement parks evolved from European fairs and pleasure gardens, which were created for recreation purpose. The oldest amusement park in the world is Bakken, north of Copenhagen, Denmark, which opened in 1583. The idea of amusement parks was popularised after Disneyland opened in California, US in 1955.

The first amusement park in India i.e. Appu Ghar opened in Delhi in 1984. The amusement park industry witnessed real growth during the nineties when large parks like Essel World in Mumbai, Nicco Park in Kolkata and Ramoji Film City in Hyderabad were set up. The mid-nineties also saw the emergence of domestic equipment manufacturers to serve the amusement park industry in India. In the next decade, most existing and upcoming amusement parks started focussing on integrated offerings combining amusement park services with others like resorts, water parks etc. In this decade, some amusement parks went for strategic alliances with foreign players to bring in more capital for expansion and access their know-how. Kishkinta was India’s first theme park set up in Chennai based on the legend of the monkey kingdom described in the Ramayana.

Key authorities and regulatory structure The amusement & theme park industry in India, being a niche one, does not have any single governing authority. Broadly, the industry comes under the scope of the Tourism Ministry, which is regulated at the respective state levels. As amusement parks attract huge footfall and can boost overall tourism in surrounding areas, states across India are trying to capture the opportunity by promoting amusement parks in their respective states. Taxation: The industry falls under the purview of the various Entertainment Tax Act(s) enacted by the respective state governments under their commercial taxes departments. Since entertainment tax is levied at the state level, there is no uniformity in tax rates across states, which would otherwise have been applicable if it was levied at the central level. The tax rate across states ranges from as low as 5% to as high as even 50% in some states, irrespective of the capital expenditure incurred for setting up the park. In almost all states except Kerala, the rate is fixed on the gross ticket value (GTV), which means the tax is charged as a percentage of the per ticket per head price charged to the visitors. In case of Kerala, tax is levied as a lump sum amount depending on the capital investment in the park as also the size of the park. Entertainment tax in states like Punjab is as high as 40%. The tax rate levied by the Gujarat government is about 25% of GTV. The southern states have quite nominal tax rates: Karnataka (5% on GTV in case ticket price is above | 50), Tamil Nadu (10% on GTV), Andhra Pradesh (20% on GTV) and Kerala (lump sum amount depending on the size of the park and capital invested).

 Migration to Goods and Services Tax (GST): This model of dual GST will replace all the different indirect taxes (like central excise, VAT, etc) levied by the central government and state governments. Thus, various categories under ‘indirect taxes’ will come under the same roof, thereby easing the procurement of rides and other offerings by parks. The introduction of this policy will rationalise tax rates across the country and make it easier to attract FDI in this sector.
