Reliance Jio Q2 Results Review - A Tad Soft, Subscriber De-Growth Key Negative: Dolat Capital

Jio’s subs addition was weak after nine consecutive quarters of healthy additions which the brokerage believes to be on account of sim consolidation and clean-up of inactive subscribers.

Dolat Capital Report

Reliance Jio’s Q2 FY25 results were marginally below estimates. Revenue/Ebitda/adjusted profit after tax grew by +14.51/16.1/23.2% YoY and 7/8 /14.4% QoQ driven by tariff increase in early July 2024. Negative sub adds after nine quarters and persistent high capex are key negatives.

Jio’s lead in 4G/5G combined with Vodafone Idea Ltd.’s payout, implies consistent tariff hikes for the industry, benefiting Jio more than peers.

We have reduced Jio’s adjusted profit after tax by 7-9% to factor lower sub base and higher opex.

Key triggers are-

  1. flow-through of tariff hike,

  2. 5G pickup,

  3. lower capex/robust free cash flow and

  4. potential listing of Jio.

Our enterprise/equity value for Jio is unchanged at Rs 1,382/1,140 at 11 times H1 FY27E EV/Ebitda (earlier Rs 1,465/1,235). Not rated.
