Zomato Outlook
POSITIVE
In pole position
The online food tech market size in India stood at US$4bn in 2019 (vs. global market of US$ 75bn) and is expected to grow by ~25% CAGR during 2019-22 to US$8bn. The
online food delivery market in India has witnessed the entry of players such as Just Eat and FoodieBay (Zomato) followed by Foodpanda, TinyOwl, Swiggy & Uber Eats COMPANY UPDATE
amongst others. A series of consolidation and market exits resulted in duopoly in the market, dominated by Zomato and Swiggy. Zomato has increased its delivery 24 September 2020
capabilities post acquisition of Runnr in 2017 and has gained an edge over Swiggy post acquisition of Uber Eats, a distant third player, in 2020. However, Amazon testing
the waters with its pilot online food delivery operations in Bengaluru could increase the competition in an otherwise duopoly market. With ~50-55% market share in
India, Zomato provides end-to-end services including listings, discovery, reviews, ordering and delivery with operations spread across 24 countries and 10k cities. The 20%
growth in online food tech market and thus Zomato is likely to be driven by 1) increased percentage of online spend on food services vs. total spend on food. At present, 10%
the % of online spend on food is ~4% in India compared to ~10% in U.S. and 13% in China, 2) accessibility to capital by Zomato (US$ 1bn+) and Swiggy (US$ 1.6bn+),
which would help penetrate the market, 3) increase in ordering frequency by consumers, although the average order value could moderate, 4) increased penetration 0%
Closing price
into Tier 2/3 cities (35% of order volume mix for Zomato), which also provides tailwinds to profitability and 5) expanding network of restaurants on food tech platforms -10%
in a post Covid world. We believe Zomato is well-positioned with strong cash balance (expected to be US$600mn post current round of capital raise) and all-round
offerings to capture the growing market & maintain leadership position in the online food tech industry with scope to diversify as well as strengthen its presence in -20%
adjacent markets such as grocery, cloud kitchen, hyperlocal delivery & private labels amongst others. Expect revenue for Zomato to grow by 22% during FY21-23E. With -30%
Zomato planning to get publicly listed in CY2021, we arrive at a valuation of US$5bn for Zomato by assigning 10x EV/Sales multiple to our FY23E revenue expectations.
We maintain ADD rating for Info Edge and increase our TP to Rs. 3600/share (Rs. 3500 earlier) led by increase in our valuation for Zomato (US$5bn vs. 4bn earlier). -40%

Zomato – Well-positioned to capture the expanding online food delivery market in India
Consolidation in online food delivery market is a global phenomenon – China represents the largest online food delivery market with Meituan Dianping and Ele.me
together capturing >90% of the market, a structure similar to that in India. Meituan Dianping is the global leader in online food delivery followed by Just Eat Takeaway.com Sensex Index NSEIT Index
(Europe), which is in the process of merger with Grub Hub (U.S.) to form a formidable but a distant second player. Just Eat (U.K. listed entity) & Takeaway.com
(Netherlands listed entity) announced a merger in July 2019 and received an approval in April 2020. Further, the merged entity, Just Eat Takeaway.com, entered into an
Stock performance (%)
agreement with Grub Hub to acquire 100% shares, which is expected to happen in 1QCY2021. In U.S., Uber Eats, which had a failed attempt to acquire Grub Hub, has
announced to acquire Postmates for US$2.7bn in July 2020. The online food delivery market is undergoing a consolidation wave, which is resulting in large players 1m 3m 12m
expected to benefit from economies of scale. However, the gross merchandise value (GMV) of food delivery transactions in 2019 for Meituan Dianping (EUR 50.8bn) is 3.7x
the GMV of proforma combined entity (Just Eat Takeaway.com + Grub Hub), signifying the huge gap between the first and second largest players in the world. CNXIT 10.0% 34.9% 29.1%
Headroom for growth in order volume and average order value –The order volume for Zomato during 1HFY20 (214mn) is merely ~6% of that registered for Meituan Sensex -3.0% 12.4% -3.6%
Dianping, the largest online food delivery player in China. Also, the average order value (AOV= GMV/order volume) stood at US$3.8 during 1HFY20 for Zomato vs. US$6.7
during CY19 for Meituan. The AOV is also considerably low compared to the peers in developed countries - Just Eat (~US$14-15 across Europe), Takeaway.com (~US$23-24
across Netherlands & Germany) and Grub Hub (US$33) in 2019. We expect the order volumes to grow strongly at a CAGR of 35% during FY21-24E, while the AOV could
moderate over long-term, as Zomato tries to penetrate more into Tier 2/3 cities and establish leadership position. The management commentary from Zomato indicated
that the GMV of the industry has reverted to 75-80% of pre-COVID levels by Aug 2020.
Increased penetration into Tier 2/3 cities to spur growth and profitability – Zomato derives ~65% of the order volumes from top 15 cities while the rest is from Tier 2/3
cities. Zomato has gradually expanded its operations from 13 cities in FY17 to 500 cities in 2019. In the last 2 years, food aggregators have started penetrating into Tier 2/3
cities to tap the potential market, while the cost economics in these cities provide tailwinds to profitability. For Zomato, while the AOV is lower in non-metro cities by 20%, RESEARCH ANALYSTS
the cost of delivery is lower by 50%, thus making operations in non-metro cities to be more profitable than metro cities. The operating costs and customer acquisition
costs are lower in Tier 2/3 cities. With increasing penetration into Tier 2/3 cities, we expect profitability to improve for Zomato although the revenue would be impacted to SOUMITRA CHATTERJEE
some extent. The contribution margin for Zomato has improved to Rs. 27/order in 1QFY21 vs. loss of Rs. 47/order in 1QFY20 led by higher delivery fees, lower discount and soumitra@sparkcapital.in
higher AOV. While the current levels of profitability are unlikely to sustain, the contribution margin per order is expected to normalize to ~Rs.12-15/order. +91 22 6176 6805
Strong cash balance and continued funding - Zomato has a cash balance of US$250mn and expects to reach US$600mn cash reserves post the closure of current round of OMPRAKASH KAVADI
capital raise. Zomato has raised a total of US$1bn+ in capital till date compared to US$1.6bn+ by Swiggy. The latest round of capital raise for Zomato includes US$250mn
omprakashkavadi@sparkcapital.in
approval from Tiger Global, Temasek & Kora Capital, out of which, $60mn from Temasek and $100mn from Tiger Global have been received. We believe Zomato is in a
strong position to capture the expanding market pie with innovative offerings like Zomato Gold, Zomato Treats and Food@work, which would complement the food +91 44 4344 0096
delivery business. Also, the strong cash balance would help Zomato to participate in M&A opportunities and fight competition in various areas of the business.
