  • Media/Entertainment Rise of Webtoons Presents Opportunities in Content Providers
    Media/Entertainment Rise of webtoons presents opportunities in content providers The rise of webtoons Overweight (Maintain) Webtoons are emerging as a profitable new content format, just as video and music streaming services have in the past. In 2015, webtoons were successfull y monetized in Korea and Japan by NAVER (035420 KS/Buy/TP: W241,000/CP: W166,500) and Kakao Industry Report (035720 KS/Buy/TP: W243,000/CP: W158,000). In late 2018, webtoon user number s April 9, 2020 began to grow in the US and Southeast Asia, following global monetization. This year, NAVER Webtoon’s entry into Europe, combined with growing content consumption due to COVID-19 and the success of several webtoon-based dramas, has led to increasing opportunities for Korean webtoon companies. Based on Google Trends Mirae Asset Daewoo Co., Ltd. data, interest in webtoons is hitting all-time highs across major regions. [Media ] Korea is the global leader in webtoons; Market outlook appears bullish Jeong -yeob Park Korea is the birthplace of webtoons. Over the past two decades, Korea’s webtoon +822 -3774 -1652 industry has created sophisticated platforms and content, making it well-positioned for [email protected] growth in both price and volume. 1) Notably, the domestic webtoon industry adopted a partial monetization model, which is better suited to webtoons than monthly subscriptions and ads and has more upside potent ial in transaction volume. 2) The industry also has a well-established content ecosystem that centers on platforms. We believe average revenue per paying user (ARPPU), which is currently around W3,000, can rise to over W10,000 (similar to that of music and video streaming services) upon full monetization.

Chang-kwean Kim [email protected] HeeSeok Lim [email protected] Watch for earnings surprise Pay, Bank, and Piccoma showing robust earnings indicators in 1Q21 every quarter in 2021 Key indicators suggest Kakao’s growth businesses (Bizboard, commerce, etc.) are continuing their earnings momentum into 1Q21. We expect GMV to begin meaningful growth on the back of the introduction of the shopping tab. Unique users of the KakaoBank and Kakao Pay apps (a leading earnings indicator) continued to increase sharply in January and February. We forecast Piccoma’s 1Q21 GMV to climb 304% YoY. The webtoon service is setting new records for a Japanese mobile internet business. Dunamu to drive Poised to become biggest beneficiary of growth of Upbit earnings surprise in 2021 Upbit, Korea’s largest crypto exchange, has recently seen its traffic and trading volume exceed 4Q17 levels. Kakao directly and indirectly owns a roughly 23% stake in Dunamu, the operator of Upbit. Kakao recorded W29bn in equity-method gains from Dunamu in 4Q17. If the current cryptocurrency frenzy continues, we expect the crypto exchange operator to contribute more than W100bn in equity-method gains this year alone. Kakao’s stake could also be revalued higher following the NASDAQ listing of global crypto exchange Coinbase. Raise TP to W590,000 (from Trading to be suspended from Apr. 12-14 for 5:1 stock split, before resuming on Apr. 15 W570,000) We forecast 1Q21 revenue and operating profit to grow 46.3% and 76.9% YoY, respectively.

  • Domestic Ride-Hailing Services: Potential W10tr Valuation?
    Kakao (035720 KS ) Domestic ride -hailing services: Potential W10tr valuation? Internet High valuations of Uber/Lyft Company Update US ride-hailing companies Uber and Lyft have filed for IPOs with the Securities and January 8, 2019 Exchange Commission (SEC) in December 2018. Of note, Uber provides a wide range of services, including ride-hailing (with options like Standard, Luxury, and SUV), shared rides, food delivery (Uber Eats), a shipping platform (Uber Freight), ride-hailing exclusively for healthcare organizations (Uber Health), and a staffing platform (Uber Works). (Maintain) Buy In 2018, Uber recorded an estimated US$46.8bn in total gross bookings and US$10.8bn in net revenue. However, the company is still incurring huge losses, with a net loss of Target Price (12M, W) 130,000 US$1.07bn in 3Q18. Meanwhile, Lyft controls 29% of the North American market as of October 2018, up from 22% in October 2017. US media reports suggest Uber and Lyft Share Price (01/07/19, W) 103,000 could be valued at US$120bn (W135tr) and US$15.1bn (W17tr), respectively, in their IPOs. Success will depend on traffic and revenue growth Expected Return 26% We believe the success of Uber’s and Lyft’s IPOs will be tied to the pace of growth of their user traffic and revenue around the time of their listings. In addition, we think OP (18F, Wbn) 102 these two companies’ stock market performances will be reflected in the Korean stock Consensus OP (18F, Wbn) 102 market by their effect on growth expectations on the domestic ride-sharing market.

  • Kakaopage Sees Transaction Volume Surpassing W500bn in 2020
    [Korea ] Internet Kakao (035720 KS ) KakaoPage sees transaction volume surpassing W500bn in 2020 Mirae Asset Daewoo Co., Ltd. Jeong -yeob Park [email protected] Chang-kwean Kim [email protected] Kakao presented key indicators and its future vision for the webtoon business (KakaoPage and Piccoma) at IPO EXPO 2020. KakaoPage set its 2020 transaction volume target at over W500bn, far above our original expectation (W340.3bn). Maintain Buy and TP of W370,000: We expect Kakao’s webtoon business to gain increasing attention as a next-generation platform, alongside Webtoon Entertainment. 2020 transaction volume target set at over W500bn; aiming to become a global IP machine - KakaoPage (CEO Lee Jin-soo) presented a 2020 transaction volume target of over W500bn (+56.3%). - Given that roughly 40% of intellectual properties (IPs) available on Piccoma are owned by KakaoPage, we believe the W500bn target partially includes Piccoma’s transaction volume. - Still, we view the announcement as meaningful, as it presents a target well above our expectations (W340.3bn for KakaoPage and W234bn for Piccoma). - KakaoPage, which was the first in the industry to successfully monetize webtoons through its “pay or wait” model, has been strengthening its roles as both a content platform and IP holder (currently owning more than 7,000 original IP titles through investments in authors and content providers). - Meanwhile, Piccoma has successfully monetized its platform while also demonstrating the far-reaching power of “K-stories” (Korean webtoons/web novels). Of note, K-stories account for almost 40% of Piccoma’s transaction volume (but less than 5% of Piccoma’s titles).

  • Kakao T Taxi in March 2015, Kakao Mobility Corp
    Report 20 18 CEO’s Message After the first publication last year, Kakao Mobility Corp. issued the second kakaomobility Report. Since its launch of Kakao T Taxi in March 2015, Kakao Mobility Corp. established its independent entity in August 2017, and introduced Kakao T by consolidating Kakao Taxi, Kakao Driver, Kakao Navi, and Kakao Parking. A large amount of travel data has been collected while Kakao Mobility Corp. has been committed to pursuing innovation. This Report shows our society’s dynamic aspects based on our collected mobility data. Many people have contributed to the publication of this Report. First of all, I would like to express my sincere appreciation to Kakao T users who have provided real time travel data. I also would like to thank taxi drivers and designated drivers for responding to surveys and interviews for this Report. Such valuable information will become a meaningful foundation for Kakao Mobility Corp. to improve customer services and constantly pursue innovation. With the age of digital transformation, the mobility industry worldwide has been experiencing a big change. In particular, travel innovation is considered as a meaningful innovation that can make many people’s life safer and more convenient and create more chances for a happier life by broadening the sphere of living. This mobility business is rapidly growing in a world of borderless competition. However, I am very worried that Korea may fall behind global competition and lose a chance to take the lead in innovation due to several regulations and conflicts. It’s time to make a bold leap forward to innovative growth at the national level.
