I welcome you to the Q4 and FY '24 Earnings Conference Call of Tips Industries Limited. To discuss this quarter's business performance we have from the management, Mr. Kumar Taurani, Chairman and Managing Director; Mr. Girish Taurani, Executive Director; Mr. Hari Nair, Chief Executive Officer; and Mr. Sushant Dalmia, Chief Financial Officer.

Before we proceed with this call, I would like to mention that some of the statements made in today's call may be forward-looking in nature and may involve risks and uncertainties. For more details, kindly refer to the investor presentation and other filings that can be found on company's website.

Without further ado, I would like to hand over the call to management for their opening comments, and then we can open the floor for Q&A. Thank you, and over to you, sir.

K
Kumar Taurani
executive

Good evening, everyone, and welcome to the Q4 FY '24 earnings call of Tips Industries. During FY '24, we distributed a total interim dividend of INR 6 per share compared to INR 0.50 in FY '23. The Board of Directors have announced a buyback of shares, the promoter family has decided to abstain from participating in the buyback. Therefore, the amount -- the entire amount of INR 37.19 crores excluding taxes, will be distributed amongst minority shareholders that we are able to reward our shareholders in this manner. This is a matter of pride for me. I think, and I appreciate our team's work, which reflects in our financial performance, we have been producing and acquiring non-film as well as film music rights.

Our in-house productions will come from Tips Films and we will selectively acquire quality music rights from the other producers as well. We were not getting good quality music last year. And even if we got it, the prices were extremely high. We will pick quality music at the right price. Hence, our investment in the content failed short by approximately INR 15 crores, INR 16 crores. Tips will always focus on buying, producing and delivering quality music.

For FY '25, we expect investment in content to be higher than last year. But it also depends upon availability of quality music, price that is being demanded, release calendar of films and other factors.

Now I'll ask our CEO, Mr. Hari Nair, to share his thoughts. Over to you, Hari.

H
Hari Nair
executive

Thank you, sir. Good evening, everyone. So as you see the Global IFPI Report, the average growth rate of the music industry is about 10%. Similarly, there was a report from EY, Media and Entertainment, I think that also predicted the same numbers. We have done better than the global and local average. We look forward to taking this growth rate in FY '25 also.

Last quarter, we entered into a new global exclusive contract with Warner Music Group and that strategy improved the scope of our digital distribution across India and globally. We have also set up new brands and partnership division to further fill growth of our business. Audio electronics brand, both use our song Hai Rama to promote their new headsets, which also features Ranveer Singh.

Our catalog continues to be in demand, and our recent film music of Crew, was trending on YouTube's 45,000 and continued stream charts. Radio broadcasters are also playing the song on repeat.

I'll hand over the call to Mr. Girish to provide insights on our content business. Thank you.

G
Girish Taurani
executive

Thank you, Hari. We've added 179 new songs in Q4 of FY '24, bringing the total songs released in FY '24 to approximately 733 as compared to 896 last year. This time, the focus has been much more on quality songs. We released most trending songs from Crew, and all three songs, Choli Ke Peeche, Naina, Ghagra, are among the top 10 trending across all major platforms. Sona Kitna Sona Hai is also picking up on the streaming services.

You know some songs that we released in the last quarter are Sabki Baaratein Aayi 2, Jab Tum Samne The, and devotional song Tere Bharose Guru Ji. All are doing decent numbers as per our expectations. Our catalog song Dil Laga Liya from the film, Dil Ha Tumhara, crossed 1 billion views on YouTube. This marks a very significant milestone for us.

On a regional music front, Telugu music from the film, Hanuman, continues to trend and stream across all audio platforms. Similarly, we had a good run with the Bhojpuri and Rajasthani releases. This showcases diversity of success we had with our music production and acquisition.

Last quarter, we signed an independent artist, DJ [indiscernible] exclusively for producing remixes. These are young and talented individuals from the south. We have aggressive plans for film music content acquisition in FY '25. We will also invest in independent music sign up talent as well.

Now I'll pass on the call to Sushant to discuss the financial performance of the company. Thank you.

[Operator Instructions] First question is from the line of Garvit Goyal from Nvest Analytics Advisors.

G
Garvit Goyal
analyst

Am I audible?

Operator

Sir, you are not audible. Can you speak a little louder, sir?

K
Kumar Taurani
executive

Speak loudly, please. Yes, let's proceed and see how it comes.

Operator

No sir, you just disconnect and connect again, please, sir. The next question is from the line of Ravi Naredi from Naredi Investment.

R
Ravi Naredi
analyst

Sir, how many films released in quarter 1 and what are content costs of song in quarter 4 of these films, which we have released?

K
Kumar Taurani
executive

Quarter 4, we -- I think, we have done around INR 22 crores, INR 23 crores. Sushant, please tell me what is the exact number?

S
Sushant Dalmia
executive

INR 23.95 crores.

R
Ravi Naredi
analyst

Sir, I could not listen.

K
Kumar Taurani
executive

Around INR 24 crores, approximately INR 24 crores.

R
Ravi Naredi
analyst

INR 24 crores. Sir, any more movies plan in quarter 1 of financial year '25?

K
Kumar Taurani
executive

Yes. Yes, we have some plans. Ishq Vishk is coming in quarter 1. So that will release.

R
Ravi Naredi
analyst

Sir, a very interesting point to this our company, paid streaming revenue in our top line and what plan you give for next 2 years for paid streaming? How much we will receive and how it is going on, how the industries will gear up for paid streaming? Can you tell through what's because you are the leader in this industry, so you can guide in complete.

K
Kumar Taurani
executive

I think, industry -- music industry worldwide is doing well and same will be in India also, industry is doing well. Everybody has a growth. But I think we will be a little different than others. As our repute or whatever we have done so far is really doing well. Our repute or we -- whatever we acquired, started acquiring from 1980 until 2023, you can say, doing pretty well. So I -- as committed earlier this year also, I will keep 30% on top line and 30% on top -- as you see this year, bottom line is, compared to last year, is 66%. So -- but still, we feel on 66%, we will do another 30% this year as well. So I'm targeting myself for that. And I really, we will all do hard work, and I believe we will achieve that.

R
Ravi Naredi
analyst

But paid streaming, can you tell a few more words about that?

K
Kumar Taurani
executive

Yes, paid streaming is increasing. Day-by-day it's showing a progress and all the focus of all these platform companies like Spotify or Wink or Gana, all those -- their focus is on the paid, to increase paid buy. So I think that's a good thing for the industry. But as mentioned earlier, it will still take 2 to 3 years more to have a very good numbers to see.

R
Ravi Naredi
analyst

Sir, in quarter 4, net profit margin is 41% versus 53% in quarter 3, so what estimate we may take for financial year '25?

K
Kumar Taurani
executive

'25, see now you can calculate whatever our entire year's bottom line, you calculate 30% on that. Our target is to achieve that. So we will try and achieve that.

R
Ravi Naredi
analyst

Net profit margin?

K
Kumar Taurani
executive

Yes, yes. We're talking about that I think.

Operator

The next question is from the line of Pallavi Deshpande from Sameeksha Capital.

P
Pallavi Deshpande
analyst

I just wanted to understand, was the cost -- this acquisition cost lower also like you said was there any change in the in-house versus outside of movies or anything that helped us to have lower costs because the number of songs released is nearly the same, yet the cost is lower.

K
Kumar Taurani
executive

No. Pallavi, we are focusing to acquire a good quality content, and our budget is same. Maybe our target is -- maybe we will reduce further and maybe this year, we will do only between 150 -- approximately 150 songs. So we are not going to reduce amount, but we are improving our quality and they're going for a bigger numbers, bigger artists, and bigger those things. So I feel keeping that budget in mind, we will produce better songs. So I think -- so there is a -- from this year onwards, our focus is on quality rather than quantity.

P
Pallavi Deshpande
analyst

Right. So even last year was something like that, but yet we did 740 songs. So just understanding from 740, we'll go to 150. Is that the right number?

K
Kumar Taurani
executive

Yes, I feel it's the right number. I'm not focusing on really hardcore number, maybe it will be more than 140 or 170. That depends upon how -- whatever we are acquiring. We are acquiring some films and some film has four songs, some film has eight songs, so we can't say the exact number, but approximately I told you that.

P
Pallavi Deshpande
analyst

And then, in terms of the number of movies performed acquisition, that would also be three to four Hindi, and total 10 to 15 songs?

K
Kumar Taurani
executive

I think our target is to...

P
Pallavi Deshpande
analyst

10 to 15 movies that you target?

K
Kumar Taurani
executive

Target is to actually to acquire Hindi, Tamil, all languages put together around 8 to 10 films, yes. And average five songs per movie to 50 songs, we should get from film side, that side, yes.

P
Pallavi Deshpande
analyst

Sir, there was this news about this Varun Dhawan and David Dhawan tie up which gets release on October 2. So have we already paid for that? Have you got purchased the music rights for that one?

K
Kumar Taurani
executive

That is our other company, Tips Films has signed them. We have not done any deal about that with the company, that will happen in due course.

P
Pallavi Deshpande
analyst

And sir, will that will be on profit sharing? Because then I wanted to understand how does the music right acquisition work if it's on a profit sharing?

K
Kumar Taurani
executive

What we have done is, we have done now, we have appointed a valuer, a government approved valuer, and he has given us a formula, under this basis you can acquire, you can do transaction with Tips Films and our board auditors and the plus Board has also approved that entire policy, what we have made. And accordingly, we buy music from them.

P
Pallavi Deshpande
analyst

Right. And sir, lastly, on this Warner Bros. deal for the Global Music right, just wanted to understand that a little better. Right now, how has it been then accounted for? Because now you have Warner Bros. for Global, but till now, how was it being done?

K
Kumar Taurani
executive

See, Warner, we had a smaller deal in 3.5 years back and now we have done a next deal with them. And so we have given them all existing audio streaming services platforms and one or two other things. And we have done a deal with them on an MG basis, minimum guarantee we will get and we will get every year's monies upfront and then they will keep sending us -- every quarter, they will send us reports. Every month, they will give us a report and finalization of all 3 months report will be combined, and we will show those figures in the books. And whatever monies we got, that will be as a non-refundable advance will be with us. So that is the arrangement we have done with them.

P
Pallavi Deshpande
analyst

And sir, till now they were only doing domestic and now you are doing with the international as well, is that right?

K
Kumar Taurani
executive

They were earlier also doing domestic and international. And now we have given them a few more platforms where they can do international and India, both.

Operator

Next question is from the line of Ashish [ Uppal Gaonkar ] from Invesco.

U
Unknown Analyst

Sir, regarding this deal with Warner taking it further. So I believe the payouts are a bit amplified versus what it was earlier. So does that, in any way, change the trajectory of top line and earnings for you or that 30% in CAGR, in which you have been guiding, that was keeping in mind, the amplified payouts that will happen with this deal.

K
Kumar Taurani
executive

The 30% including this deal, yes, because it's the same thing. If we do directly or do through owner, it's the same thing. So it's including whatever we are guiding 30% year-on-year, is the same thing, including Warner as well.

U
Unknown Analyst

Okay. And on the content side, I think this quarter, I understand that you have been saying that one should look at it annually. But was the one-off increase in the content cost this quarter because it's, I think, almost 45% of the annual [indiscernible] is written off in this quarter. So is there anything which is one-off or [indiscernible]

K
Kumar Taurani
executive

I think it can happen in future also. Please understand, content is not in my hand. When producers decides -- I would -- this Crew on 29th March, so I have to release that in February. If they say, hey, I'm going to release in June, so it could have gone to the next quarter. It could have been further inflated the profit. But I think it's applicable for the entire industry, not only with the Tips. So whenever producer decides his film, sometimes it's come early preponed by 1 or 2 weeks and sometimes it goes to -- maybe they can delay by 1 quarter or 2 quarters also. So these are the regular happenings in the industry. So we follow that.

U
Unknown Analyst

Okay. And sir, so in past few years, you have been exceeding the delivery on revenues and profit sources, what you have been guiding, though you have been guiding that 25%, 30% kind of growth. So I mean, are there possibilities there that something might expedite versus what we think right now, I mean, maybe the pay model clicks earlier than what we are thinking right now. Is there anything on the ground to suggest that these delivery on growth for you would be higher than what you're anticipating right now?

K
Kumar Taurani
executive

Ashish, it can happen really. I'm very positive about our business for -- really it can happen, and we are really pushing from all the sites. Recently, we have -- Mr. Hari has joined us in the last 6 months, and he has also brought in many good people and we are also concentrating on other business rather than regular businesses. We are talking to brands, we are talking to sync -- there is not many other options as well, So we are doing that. And this is 30%. 30%, I think it's safer. But whatever happens this year, we have a bottoming of 66%. So -- and now our next year will be I'm -- trying and I'm very confident it can happen.

On 66%, we want 30%. So our target is like that. So I think it's already showing our reports. If you see from INR 90 crores in '21 till INR 241 crores this year, in 3 years' time, so I think whatever comes, it comes, yes, and we are pushing it. We are targeting our sale for 30%. But if it happens more, we are absolutely ready and aiming for that.

U
Unknown Analyst

Yes. Okay. Lastly, you said that the industry is trying to get into the pay model. But if we understand correctly, the bigger platform still are not pushing it as much. I mean, I understand Spotify and others are doing that. But the bigger platforms are still not doing that. So is there anything to suggest on the ground that they would also fall in line with the effort that others are putting in?

K
Kumar Taurani
executive

See, there is a recently there's event happen of the Spotify. Spotify is #1 today. And I think in the stream service Spotify must be 45%, 50% of entire 5 years. So they have celebrated 5 years in India and they have announced publicly our next focus for next 5 years will be, we want to convert at least 60%, 70% this market as a paid market and they have done that successfully in overseas. So I feel if platform is saying and they are focused, and they also know they also need growth. And they also know they also have to provide us growth, so they will focus on that.

And if you see, recently if you go on YouTube or if you go on Spotify, they trouble you a lot, and they push you to be a paid subscriber. I think, that's happening well. It's converting. It will take a little time, but I think we will see good numbers in future.

Operator

The next question is from the line of Ankush Agarwal from Surge Capital.

A
Ankush Agrawal
analyst

A couple of questions on this Warner deal. So I think in one of the recent interviews, you have said that in New Delhi our MG spend is more than the earlier deal. So I wanted to understand [Foreign Language] we were looking just at MG?

K
Kumar Taurani
executive

[Foreign Language] But touchwood, they have recovered their money. They have done entire profit and we are getting overflow. Yes, we are getting overflow on that deal as well.

A
Ankush Agrawal
analyst

And for your new deals, [ Foreign Language] like last, I think, was 3, 3.5 years, this new deal is about?

K
Kumar Taurani
executive

New deal is approximately around 4 years.

A
Ankush Agrawal
analyst

4 years. Okay. And MG is like constant trailer [Foreign Language] yea-after-year?

K
Kumar Taurani
executive

[Foreign Language] If we surpass that MG immediately overflow kick in. [Foreign Language]

A
Ankush Agrawal
analyst

[Foreign Language]

K
Kumar Taurani
executive

Yes, yes.

A
Ankush Agrawal
analyst

Okay. Another question for [Foreign Language] now since all the platform is, like excluding YouTube, I think YouTube is not into this, right?

K
Kumar Taurani
executive

[Foreign Language] So we have given them five small channels.

A
Ankush Agrawal
analyst

Okay. So [Foreign Language] regional content we have given to Warner and YouTube as well.

K
Kumar Taurani
executive

Yes, yes.

A
Ankush Agrawal
analyst

[Foreign Language] because Warner will be dealing on our behalf with everyone like from Spotify to all the streaming platforms. [Foreign Language]

K
Kumar Taurani
executive

[Foreign Language] Main is a content game. The distribution is a secondary thing. [Foreign Language] They also approached us directly. We have not gone to them. They approached us directly, why don't you come directly with us. But we feel very comfortable, and we are getting upfront MG for 4 years. So we feel like, going this time with Warner is very good and we'll see that in future what -- if we want to change that.

A
Ankush Agrawal
analyst

Second question, sir, like still now some of the platforms like Gana, Jio Saavn, we were not there because we were trying to negotiate hard to get the right price for ourselves, right? But now since Warner would be doing that, and they would be looking at it a more larger deal like a consolidated deal. [Foreign Language]

K
Kumar Taurani
executive

[Foreign Language]

A
Ankush Agrawal
analyst

[Foreign Language]

K
Kumar Taurani
executive

[Foreign Language] So we are really -- still I feel we are holding 65% of our business ourselves.

A
Ankush Agrawal
analyst

[Foreign Language]

K
Kumar Taurani
executive

[Foreign Language]

A
Ankush Agrawal
analyst

Lastly, sir, just an accounting clarification. So our non-current liability has jumped to about INR 70 crores. So I'm assuming it is MG [Foreign Language].

K
Kumar Taurani
executive

Yes, yes. [Foreign Language]

A
Ankush Agrawal
analyst

Non-current liability has 70%, but [Foreign Language]

K
Kumar Taurani
executive

[Foreign Language]

Operator

The next question is from the line of [ Suraksha Jain ] from BMS Wealth.

U
Unknown Analyst

Sir, my first question is in terms of the content cost for next year. So what I understand is what you said is we will be releasing 150 songs, right? And the content cost would be similar to this year's level, like INR 70 crores to INR 75 crores kind of, is what we're planning to invest in content next year, sir?

S
Sushant Dalmia
executive

Yes, we have a budget of INR 75 crores, 80 crores. [Foreign Language].

U
Unknown Analyst

And sir, in terms of our employee cost, even if you exclude the one-off that we have, there is a slight jump in the employee cost. So can we assume that as a new run rate for the employee cost going forward, sir?

S
Sushant Dalmia
executive

A little bit will be here and there. Very nominal. It won't affect much, but it will go up because we need a few expensive people, and we did these new businesses, we are getting more aggressive in that. So we need a few people. So we're hiring those. And already, I think hiring is already almost complete maybe one or two person will come in more.

U
Unknown Analyst

Okay. And sir, another question was, we have a short-term investment of INR 91 crores. So if you could just help us understand what kind of instruments you are holding in the short-term investment?

S
Sushant Dalmia
executive

Can you repeat your question? Sorry.

U
Unknown Analyst

I just wanted to understand the details of how short-term the current investments of INR 91 crores that we have on the balance sheet.

S
Sushant Dalmia
executive

Yes. So primarily it's into mutual funds, debt mutual funds and two of the shorter end liquids -- liquid and short-term funds.

U
Unknown Analyst

Okay. Okay. Okay. And could you also share the details of the investment property that we have, that exactly this property and revaluation of some numbers, something around that?

S
Sushant Dalmia
executive

Which property?

U
Unknown Analyst

You have an investment property of INR [ 110.1 ] crores.

S
Sushant Dalmia
executive

It's old one, let's say, around that INR 11 lakhs that has primarily, let's say, the industrial [indiscernible], which we have. And the current market value would be around that INR 4 crores of that.

U
Unknown Analyst

Okay. And I have sir, just 2 more questions to you. So Page 2, you said it's going to become very big going forward in the next 5 years. But I understand currently, for us, the paid streaming revenue has not started coming in, right?

K
Kumar Taurani
executive

Paid streaming is coming, but it's not coming all money, but that's coming.

U
Unknown Analyst

Okay. So I assume it will be less than 5% of our overall revenue? Or is it like could be 10% in terms of percentage?

K
Kumar Taurani
executive

Pretty that much, yes.

U
Unknown Analyst

[Foreign Language]

K
Kumar Taurani
executive

[Foreign Language] MG divided into, first quarter was a little bigger and then other three parts. Every year, we will get that.

U
Unknown Analyst

Okay. Okay. Plus the overflow?

K
Kumar Taurani
executive

Plus overflow, yes. Yes.

Operator

The next question is from the line of Abhishek Nagaraj from Alts Wealth Private Limited.

A
Abhishek Nagaraj
analyst

This is regarding the deal with Warner. There is a minimum guarantee, but is there any protective clauses around increasing the minimum guarantee, one, grow the entire industry also goes behind the favor? This is one of my first questions, and then I'll follow up with the rest.

K
Kumar Taurani
executive

No. I think, whatever we have done is a fixed lead and we have properly projected our 4-year revenue. We have kept all those things in mind. And we have set a number. We negotiated, and we closed with one number. And if we enter more than that, if number goes more than that, so immediately, overflow will start.

A
Abhishek Nagaraj
analyst

The second question was on say, for example, if we estimate that we'd be earning INR 100 on a particular piece of music that we own, how much of that comes in the first year, second year and the third year, if you can give some guidance on that?

K
Kumar Taurani
executive

Good question. Please repeat that.

A
Abhishek Nagaraj
analyst

So basically, on the lifetime value of the music that we own, say, let's say, we are earning INR 100 on a particular song that we own, how much of that actually translates into revenue in the first year and the second year and the third year, like I'm assuming there will be a rundown, right? Like after a couple of years, the revenue from that particular piece of music comes down over time. I just want to know what is the guidance on that?

K
Kumar Taurani
executive

See what I feel, earlier, we used to decide this new song is after 6 months, it's a catalog song. Because we used to recover investment in 3, 4 months' time. And now what I see whatever we invest, we will recover our money in 4, 5 years' time. But still, we write off our entire content cost acquisition, same quarter. You know that.

We don't carry forward anything. We just write off everything. The quarter we released our content. So we don't have any liability. So that way we feel, it's our kind of a business, but I assume in case if I'm recovering my money in today's time, the competition is too much in 4 to 5 years, actually, mentally, I want to come back my money in 2 to 3 years. But for investors' sake, I feel 4, 5 years is a safer, is a good investment, and we do deals that way.

A
Abhishek Nagaraj
analyst

Okay. Got it. Also, you were mentioning about the new businesses that you're looking to set up, if you can give some color on that. What are the new businesses like how are we looking at the revenues and the costs that will get impacted once this is stable?

K
Kumar Taurani
executive

Actually, it's not a new business as -- we do business, that brands and the sync rights of any movie or any little brand to takeover strong, so we are -- earlier, we used to fulfill whatever query we'll get. But now we have appointed a team, they will go to each company, and they will talk to them and maybe they can bring some business, so that we are trying to do more.

A
Abhishek Nagaraj
analyst

Last question is from a perspective that the company has been paying out significant dividends and buyback. One from a perspective of tax efficiency, dividends and buybacks are not typically considered very tax efficient. Is there any thought process of the management to probably recapitalize or probably distribute bonds to shareholders, which would then become tax-deductible expense in the hands of the company, which again goes on to increase shareholder returns? Or is this the policy that we would want to continue with dividends and buyback themselves?

K
Kumar Taurani
executive

Maybe we can consider this. Sushant, can you say something about this?

S
Sushant Dalmia
executive

We will, let's say, look into it. But let's say, currently, we will continue with dividends and buyback. But since you brought it to our notice, on this, we will check with the consultants and circle back.

A
Abhishek Nagaraj
analyst

I've done some analysis on this, and I'm happy to share it across offline and if it's of your interest, that is something that we could look at in the benefit of everyone.

S
Sushant Dalmia
executive

Sure. We'll definitely look into that.

Operator

The next question is from the line of Mythili Balakrishnan from Alchemy Capital Management.

M
Mythili Balakrishnan
analyst

Yes. I had a couple of questions. One is what would be the mix between your digital streaming kind of revenues versus your non-streaming?

K
Kumar Taurani
executive

That same 75%, 25%. Close to 75% [indiscernible]

M
Mythili Balakrishnan
analyst

Got it. So both the business is sort of growing at a similar pace?

K
Kumar Taurani
executive

Yes, yes.

M
Mythili Balakrishnan
analyst

Got it. And share of YouTube, if you could sort of indicate in the overall streaming part of the pie?

K
Kumar Taurani
executive

Sushant, how much is YouTube, I think, 50%?

S
Sushant Dalmia
executive

Between that 45% and 50%.

M
Mythili Balakrishnan
analyst

45%-50% of overall revenues?

K
Kumar Taurani
executive

Yes.

S
Sushant Dalmia
executive

Yes.

M
Mythili Balakrishnan
analyst

Got it. I just wanted to get a sense of this content cost because earlier we were indicating 30% of our top line we would do. But in the year coming ahead, it looks like we are aiming a lower number, right, around 25% odd?

K

Mythili, first, you have to look at the both numbers, non-current and current. Let's say one INR 71 crores in the non-current, that is also pertaining to advance and let's say, there is INR 64 crores lying in the current market, other current liability. So you have to look in from an advance perspective, we have to look both the numbers.

M
Mythili Balakrishnan

So INR 71 crores in the non-current and INR 64 crores in the other current?

Sushant Dalmia

K

Telugu. Particularly Telugu. Telugu, we are trying, but see South market suddenly has become really very aggressive. So we don't know how many songs. I think, at least we will acquire three to four films around, say, 20, 30 songs will come.
