Quarter read

What the record says.

Indus Towers delivered a strong Q3 FY24 with record tower additions of 7,563 macro towers, more than 5x YoY, driven by rural expansion from a major customer. Revenue grew 6.4% YoY to INR 72 billion, while EBITDA margin expanded 32.8pp YoY to 50.3%, aided by reversal of provisions. PAT stood at INR 50.4 billion vs a loss last year. Collections from the major customer improved, with INR 3 billion recovered against past dues. Management expects continued rural rollout and 5G loading to support growth, though energy margins remained negative at -2.7%. Key risk: elevated capex of INR 26.5 billion may pressure free cash flow and dividend payout.

Colored figures show movement against the previous available record.

Guidance to track

  • Management expects the major customer's rural rollout to sustain for the next 2-3 quarters, supporting tower additions.
  • Loading revenue from 5G equipment on existing towers is expected to contribute 5-10% upside per site.
  • Dividend payout will be evaluated at year-end based on free cash flow, with no change in policy.

Risks flagged

  • Capex of INR 26.5 billion in Q3 remains high due to tower additions, limiting free cash flow and dividend potential.
  • 50-60% of the portfolio is due for renewal in coming years, which may apply discounts and drag revenue growth.
  • Energy margins were -2.7% in Q3, impacted by past period settlements; improvement timeline uncertain.
  • Record tower additions are concentrated on one customer; any slowdown in its capex could impact Indus's growth.

Key quotes

  • We are proud to have delivered the highest ever tower additions in our history.
  • Our quarterly macro and co-location additions increased more than 5 times over the same period last year.
  • We have collected and recognized INR 3 billion against the past overdue, in addition to the 100% monthly collection.
