Hotel Shilla (008770 KS) Shares to trend higher despite near-term earnings weakness

4Q13 preview: Revenue of W569.3bn (+3.1% YoY), OP of W6.8bn (-69.7% YoY) Hotel/Leisure We project Hotel Shilla’s 4Q13 revenue and operating profit to come in at W569.3bn (+3.1% YoY, -16.3% QoQ) and W6.8bn (-69.7% YoY, -83.0% QoQ ), respectively, missing Earnings Preview the market consensus. We estimate duty-free shop OP margin slumped to 2.7% (stripping away bonus payouts) in 4Q13 from 6.5% in 3Q13 because of the steep decline of the January 15, 2014 US$/W rate, a major determinant of the division’s earnings.

The hotel division also likely suffered weaker earnings QoQ, as the Jeju hotel was likely (Maintain) Buy hurt by seasonal weakness at a time when the occupancy rate of the downtown hotel has yet to fully normalize. One-off bonus payouts (estimated at W9bn) are likel y to Target Price (12M, W) 95,000 have further weighed on earnings. We estimate overall OP margin stood at just 1.2% in 4Q13.

Share Price (01/14/14,W) 73,300 Despite near-term earnings weakness, shares to trend higher on long-term growth momentum Expected Return 30% Hotel Shilla has secured a significant medium- to long-term growth driver by winning the Changi Airport duty-free shop contract (announced last week). The firm’s Changi Airport OP (13F,Wbn) 89 operations should structurally drive up margins by lowering COGS ratio through large- Consensus OP (13F,Wbn) 98 volume purchases and a better product mix. From a qualitative perspective, operating duty-free shops at the two largest airports in the fast-growing Asia market should bolster EPS Growth (13F,%) - Hotel Shilla’s capabilities and raise its value. Market EPS Growth (13F,%) 5.6 P/E (13F,x) 141.7 Therefore, the correlation between near-term quarterly earnings, which are leverage d to exchange rate movements (a non-fundamental variable that is highly unpredictable), and Market P/E (13F,x) 12.0 the stock’s performance is likely to significantly decrease over the medium term. We KOSPI 1,946.07 believe investors should focus more on the firm’s medium- to long-term growth Market Cap (Wbn) 2,877 prospects, which are well-supported by: 1) the overseas expansion of the duty-free shop Shares Outstanding (mn) 40 business and the 2) the vertical expansion of the hotel business, which has been set in Free Float (%) 81.5 motion with the opening of the first Shilla Stay business hotel in Dongtan in 4Q13. Foreign Ownership (%) 40.6 Changi earnings to get on track in 2H15; Maintain Buy and TP of W95,000 Beta(12M) 0.03 52-Week Low 41,450 Hotel Shilla will commence its Changi Airport operations on October 1st. The operations 52-Week High 73,300 will initially incur heavy expenses, and thus act as a drag on 2014 consolidated earnings. However, margins should gradually begin to pick up in 2H15 and eventually increase to (%)(%)(%) 1M1M1M 6M6M6M 12M12M12M over 4% in 2017 after the completion of the airport’s Terminal 4. In addition, purchasing Absolute 9.9 21.6 70.1 costs should also decline, potentially improving domestic duty-free shop margins. Relative 10.8 16.8 75.4 We believe the duty-free shop business warrants a premium, given that: 1) there is still 190 Hotel Shilla KOSPI 170 plenty of room for long-term growth (duty-free shops are among the most rationalized 150 retail channels), and 2) the unit can derive growth from overseas markets. W e expect 130 Hotel Shilla to become a leading player in Asia, which has the highest growth potential for 110 consumer demand (led by and Southeast Asia). We maintain our Buy rating and 90 target price of W95,000, and recommend the stock as our top pick in the Korean 70 consumer universe from a medium- to long-term view. 13.1 13.5 13.9 14.1
