in coming years, according to us.

MTEL is currently trading at P/E of 22.7x (TTM) and FY15 forwarded P/E of 15.1x (FY15 estimated earnings of INR110.3 million). MTEL has emerged as a strong player in a highly fragmented coaching industry and has the ability to deliver strong
operating performance; on the back of high operating leverage
business model. Despite continued organic expansion and strategic acquisitions, MTEL managed its financials well and kept it
balance sheet debt free.
Despite competition from unorganized and local players, MTEL
managed to report consistent and sustained performance during
past several quarters and we expect the company to sustain and
improve key operating metrics on the back of strong cash flow, a
recurring theme in the past several quarters. We value MTEL on
traditional DCF method of valuation and are comfortable with
an FY15 P/E of 25x, with a fair value of INR200.

INVESTMENT RATIONALE
MTEL is a well established player in coaching industry and consistently expanding its base across India.
Focus over localization of its businesses is the key of
its success
MTEL is a zero debt company and has a track record
of strong operating cash flow, which is expected to
continue further.
Diversification in product offerings aided the company
to expand its base in new geographies. Rather than
pushing its services in market, MTEL is focusing more
over Customer Centric approach.
Inorganic strategic moves and tie ups in new geographies could be a strong trigger for coming years.
School segment has immense potential to grow and outperform in coaching industry. This segment has reported a better than
expected increase in per batch occupancy rate in past few years and it has also witnessed the willingness of parents to pay more
for quality coaching, which the students are not getting in schools. The INK model, which is a coaching through internet, is also
gaining wide acceptance due to easy accessibility and in house tuition. This model provides for personal coaching and parents
appear to have better control over their wards.
MTEL has recently started a PU (pre-university) college in Mangalore, Karnataka and has also forayed into direct education
over the past 12 months. The company has tie-ups with other colleges in Karnataka to provide test preparatory coaching and
management consultancy services. In the deal, MTEL shares over 15% of the revenue with the college for utilizing the college
infrastructure and in return colleges get extra income during their non academic sessions. Currently it has tie-ups with 9 operational colleges. Management is targeting over 30 college tie-ups by the end of FY18.
Geographical Diversification: Expanding pan India presence with focus over localization
To reduce single location concentration, MTEL is aggressively expanding its presence across new geographies such as Karnataka, Gujarat, Punjab, Tamil Nadu and Delhi, which would further reduce regional dependency over Maharashtra, where it is
currently operating 75% of the total centers. During FY13, MTEL acquired Lakshya coaching and made its presence in northern India. Now the company is planning to expand Lakshya network in other parts of the country, especially western India,
where MTEL has strong presence. This move would not only strengthen the competitive position of the company; however, it
would also reduce operating pressure over MTELs existing infrastructure
The regions where MTEL has presence are strategically evaluated by the company and the offerings are based on
growth prospects & preference of the students towards entrance exams. MTEL launched CA courses in Tamil
Nadu, Engineering in Karnataka, acquired Lakshya in Northern India, etc. Company is diversifying the offerings
and focusing more on scalability.
Recent initiative for UVA (University, Vocational & Affiliated) education model could be the EBITDA booster,
considering the network expansion with colleges. In this way of operations, colleges get extra revenue for providing infrastructure to MTEL during non academic sessions and MTEL uses a well established infra of colleges at a
nominal cost. We believe that it could be a strong trigger for next 3 years.

Ongoing network rollout and occupancy rate would continue the aid top-line momentum
Zero debt at balance sheet and high operating leverage model improves performance
Despite continued expansion, net margin improved and maintained positive CFO
We believe that the shareholders equity could continue to grow at the CAGR of between 20-23% due to
consistent improvement in operating profitability,
thus keeping ROE above 20%.

Continued expansion could raise employee expenses; keeping other costs under control
Rise in employee expenses could be the concern for the company due to continued expansion of coaching centers and geographical risks associated with that. However, other expenses, such as direct expenses and material cost would be under control
due to its fixed nature and low variability. MTEL operates at an asset light business model, therefore it leaves the company to
focus more on student acquisition to reach maximum occupancy per batch.
We believe that the employee expenses could report notable growth in coming years due to additional hiring of staffs to work
on new coaching centers. Administration expenses would remain stable; however, control over non operating cost would be the
key for coming years, which we believe that it would remain in favor of MTEL due to rising acceptance of coaching studies in
Tier II and III cities, which would further increase the occupancy rate.
