As Tree House operates in high growth oriented sector, P/E multiples are bound to be higher to compensate its growth. Hence we have valued the company by discounting Enterprise Value to its sales (EV/Sales) as we believe that education is still the sunrise sector in the Indian markets. We expect revenue to grow at a CAGR of 44% from FY12 to FY14, EBIDTA to grow at CAGR of 36% with EBITDA margin of 43%. Profit after tax is also expected to grow at a CAGR of 39% during the same period. At CMP Tree House is valued at 9.9x as per EV/sales method.

We value TV18 Broadcast on EV/Sales basis as we believe that media is still the sunrise sector in the Indian markets. Using FY2014 sales estimate post the rights issue completion and the ETV acquisition.
